NOMAD
A song for every avenue?
A desert where the rain-cloud comes
A parched land where no needle hides
A harsh land where seeds are buried
And nomad goes.
By harsh lands where no needle hides
By rusty ocean-sides
By cleft mountainsides
By moon-sunk moon
By, no nomad goes
Catch the sunken moon
Catch the ocean-splutter
Catch the hidden seeds
Catch my lilted song
�Catch!� no nomad goes
Ditch my crestfallen song
Ditch the rusty desert-dunes
Ditch the seeds where no rain comes
Ditch the parched land where seeds are buried
�Ditch�: no nomad goes
Empty crestfallen sea
Empty phantom ships
Empty windswept seeds
Empty moonstruck moon
Empty, no nomad goes
For my desert of rain-clouds
Catches the sunken moon
In song for every avenue
By harsh desert words
Where?--no nomad goes.
