lyrics

If I live long enough to live
As long as I have again
I’ll write it in a paperback
Call it “There & Back Again”

A wink at the fable
Of mountains and magic
Not all that far off from
A life spent in transit

Some words on the wilderness
From a failed high school poet
With half written metaphors
To buffer the sadness

Erase the names
Sub out the date
Blur out the passage
Those years in the forest
When I foraged and forged my own truth

Conjure a ghost I once knew

These days it’s uncertain I’ll ever leave Michigan
Been bound by a spell or some incantation
I gaze in the absence from a park bench near a campus
With eyes still wide open
I channel and I drift

To a place through the evergreens
Out in the morning breeze
My breath in the air
The dark wood before me
Somewhere in the firmament
Or how I imagine it
The crunching of snow summons me to the present view

Conjure a ghost I once knew
It was you
