Where Can I Find You?

I looked down the canal, but you were not there.

[written June 26, 2005]

I'm looking over my shoulder
where are you?
I look through the crowds
but your face disappears
it hides from me
the shadows protect it
I have no choice
I must walk on

I looked down the canal
but you were not there
would you have been a fool?
Bitterness says yes
but my heart says no
I looked in the water
but I saw one thing
It was my own face

The rhythm of the night
is the beating of my heart
The pounding on the table
Is my fingers..waiting...
I am lost
I am without a guide
Where can I find you?
You left no address
You left no trace
Except the fingerprints on my soul
