solitary solidarity

How did I become this
a man of no longing
Living like a death wish
what strange song singing


how did I become this
with no hope and help
unstable winter breeze
not a dog, yet alone I yelp

How did I become this
empty shell at shore
left my soul amiss
even strong legs are sore

How did I become this
one pale face of frown
no bloody heavenly bliss
broken dreams of a clown

How can I become this
to unfold in me that butterfly
leaping up for her first kiss
opening my wings in clear blue sky
