Homeless man:

2 0 0
                                    

Be ready,

Homeless man.

But do not fret.

All I ask you is,

Where do you want to go?

Is your life,

But a star in the sky?

Never moving,

Never crossing,

As a lover,

With another.

Are you open?

Are you closed?

Do these gates amuse you?

Will you let emotion in?

The blinded eclipse,

Behind the crimson gated curtains,

Will Soon say goodbye.

Will you see it?

Will you allow another,

Into your tent,

To spend the night?

Or will your eyes

Meet no other sight.

Now, or in your later days.
