Savannah

Savannah, pretty city of the South
Where I spent half a day of my life
Eating your delicious bread 
Mixing the smoke of my pipe 
With your warm air
Riding in carts pulled by big ambulatory horses
Pissing in your sewage
And wending even more 
Southward
You left behind 
A shining point 
On the turning trajectory 
Of my life
