I plot a course north-northwest Whistling into the wind that hits my cheeks On a twenty-four hour trip that lasts a thousand years With tightly tied promises and shoelaces Leaves turn red and flutter down on the breeze And the late autum shadows fall at my feet As the light of hope shone on my honed blade Grains of golden sand sparkled How many times have I seen the moon? Time flows in pre-established harmony, crying as if laughing How far have I walked? Still searching for the medicine to heal my wounds Under the too-bright blue sky The setting sun throws my shadow before me Like a compass pointing the way to tomorrow And as that shadow takes my hand, I begin to walk again My shoelaces begin to come undone And the pre-planned streets laugh Still unable to find myself I found a way to close my wounds Despair and hope make a geometric pattern Brilliant and complicated Fading memories drift in a magnetic field Finally I arrive at my naked self Under the too-sad red sky With hands dyed by a sense of inferiority I retie my shoelaces And with my compass begin to walk towards the faint light
