Welcome Back

Welcome back to you  my misery
played out for all the world to see
bright lights and caricature circling
even buzzards want a piece of me

Shifts shred the tempo  shallow troubles
bellow  in a chamber broken down below
emptiness echoes from beyond the mouth 
with the bass  a drown recluse obo hum

Moving with mountains  a sound enjoyed
matted brush and worn-out weathered trails
can only guide so far   missing the post
birch tree beauty   notched and polished 

Carry me on home   Delilah  
as the night wanders  alone
