Magdalena Number 5
“MAGDALENA #5”
if you ever travel to the hills of
Woodland,
where canyons wrap around
Topanga, in the region of the
valley,
listen for the echoes of my
footsteps.
the sounds as I search for
the
one for me,
the love of my life.
if you see her,
look at the way she's done
her
hair,
see if it's down.
that's how she knew I loved
it,
that's how it was the day my
footsteps echoed through the
hills.
if you ever travel through
the
canyon
where my true love lives,
if you ever travel through
the
canyon
where she watched me walk
away,
make sure she's smiling,
even if it isn't because of me.
I want her smiling,
even if I sit here crying.
if you ever travel to the
hills of
Woodland,
where canyons wrap around
Topanga,
in the region of the valley,
tell the love of my life,
I love her.
if you ever travel to the
hills of
Woodland,
where canyons wrap around
Topanga,
in the region of the valley,
listen carefully,
you'll hear the echoes of my
footsteps.
they wander with no exit,
dying while waiting,
for the love of my life
to return.
