unfamiliar road

january 29th, 2019

i remember the first time i wandered this way
past lovely brick bridges, in the sun of midday
a foreign affair
from my east to your center
a break from despair
beware, ye who enter

strange and exotic, once new and unknown
now stripped of all queerness, by the seeds i have sown
this, my woodland abode
on this stream i have cried
down this unfamiliar road
as life passes us by

* back to drops *
