In the desert

[rowens]

There is always this You. 

At night, the days
return, like waves 

Days return,
like waves
of the sea.


on the sea
of Time, friendless companion.

At night, you are
close to me. Immutable,
like a cycling star -
a cloud to cloud
and grave to grave
eternity,
my endless companion. 


At night, you.

Like a cloud. Like a grave.

My immutable companion. 




.........................



You're always such a clever beau, busker. 

Don't get mad at me. You know that milo fellow wouldn't let you get away with so many abstractions.


...................



I would.
I will.

I think you can salvage this poem with words you got.
