two decades of walking alone,
finding love that returneth not,
perhaps i'm a lone cyclamen,
living in an inhabited island.

a howling wolf at the moon,
going into empty rooms,
finding abandoned toys,
my garden full of tumbleweeds

sleeping in abandoned towns,
places where no one comes,
two decades of walking alone,
finding love that returneth not.
