From Thirty - Seven Years Old To Gojo

Along the Turkish lanes - I had to ,
An outcast with face held high, 
But with the lowered in soul,
Where the yellow walls 
Are scratching the shoulders without touching,
I think of you.
Almost found a way to escape for days,
That you can count with one fist.
From this not native country to native,
To that native bed where you were not every night ,
Not hours in a row, 
But just sometimes.
 
*Gojo, a gypsy name, means beautiful.
