Shaped by your first instruction
Of the working traveler’s adventure
And the stupidity...

on your fingernail seats the victory home
in your head dwells all tactics
for halting

I’m a servant of the universe 
My rank is junior minder.
I care for the solar system
As its oiler and winder.

Since you’re gone
Sometimes it feels like forever
Other times just yesterday
So much has changed

What happens to angels tears, as they fall from the
Heaven above, into diamonds of ice so are they
Transformed, turning, spinning in the atmosphere.

Of the organ grinder as he makes his way around.
