by morning I'll be gone
the highway will welcome me
to her warmth
let her arms lay down their guides
let her lead me into the sun
I will go softly
I do not disturb
this rhythm
this city
this history
I leave it behind love
will you be here when I return
if I if I
if I see you on the street
will you recognize me
will I recognize you
the features of your body
my body?
your hip-sway walk
my wandering eyes
your beat that injects my arms
old lover
new friend
past life
will you recognize my smell
rolled through pa**ing towns
like sticky sweet hands?
my new words
my new eyes
my ever-changing skin?
