Happenstancing

Happy just to leave it alone cos that would only bring me down. Happy that I'm leaving town on my own. But now it's cold., I travel alone.

Happen, happenstance, led me to the dance, and now I'm on the moon, my face is into everything that moves under stars in a sparkling sky, and overhead a Phoenix flies by.

For one thousand years I don't die, your lives come and go, I don't know that deep urgency that comes with time ending. Once set on I burn back, I return with frankincense in my hair, ashes is all over my face, twigs everywhere, and I say, "I've been away."

Happy to be misunderstood…
