Stuck here miles from home, I wander places I have not wandered in years, I'm saddled with old ghosts near and far, my deceased one time best friend here and the quite still alive but distant poet friend back home, his place spiffed up and sold off, her place like a dark Tower against the City full of towers, still taller than hers, I can't pass either without feeling some kind of ache, the Lost past with him, the vacant perpetual of what might have been with her, both vague like a fog out of which anything might emerge, except for anything I might want, this vacancy life leaves us with, yet without any way to fill both places, haunted mansions I dare not to get too close to, scared of what I might see if I do and so I float this way and that in this perpetual fog looking for a way out
