Your first face smiled to me
Soon your second one frowned
Your first face came out waggingly
The second like a cloud downed
...
Oh life you tired me out
In taking this heart for a rock
On which you sunned like a beast
And grew your weeds of poison hemlock
...
In love with the dark 'n with the light
Yapping gusts from the far South
Swishing to 'em the hem of the night
Blow and blowlike no other mouth
...
Night obscures the day's eye
But is not enemy to dawns on the way
Birds' heads now asleep under their wings
See the full light of life in blindfolded skies
...
... and you 've been tempted by life's chimera
But life proffers sweetness and soon kicks
You took the volatile roads heartpecker
Just to nag the peace of birds!
...

...
Years
You keep flying O' years
But you never look back
