Another man

Another man

Screaming my name in the street

Chasing me as far as he can go

Undone with

 ghosts and streets of fire 

in their eyes

Another man

Looked at me

Like his Santa Maria 

Leaving flowers at my feet

Asking day after day

To answer his prayer 

Of loneliness and disaster

Another man

Stopped at the side of the winding road

From his ever turning

weight inside

Another man forfeited

That I had to leave behind

Another glimpse

Into forever

Another off path

In my wandering

Leading nowhere

And somewhere else

And my little secret 

Between my hair and the wind

Left untouched
