I have staggered along the cement squares

Drank the bitter till night was morning fair

Danced with hollow souls of high and low the well.

Been a man of woes a man alone out here

I’ve known the shift of sand like dreams that go

I know the song of need left to mold

But I never let you down . . .

I have been your best broken friend

Your porcelain confidant

Lifting you . . .

Though I could no longer soar
