I was born to love a Southern girl,
blond hair, black hair, brown hair,
straight or curled,

visit the black swans anew
if still they glide upon the lake

the rusted metal of bridges now trackless
the steel skeletons seen through un-paned portals of dirty,
cracked brick abandoned factories
the aged wooden, derelict outbuildings
