Soliloquy

Wind don’t howl through my brain

Doors don’t squeak on your hinges

Oh if I could gather all the darkness into my eyes

An’ let the hazy starlight blaze a path into my soul

Ah this world’s too much for me

I’d fain have a little corner patch

In the backyard of beloved’s monstrous dwellings

Where green grass and fresh dew would embellish

The humble offerings of this once

Vibrant proud and warm heart
