Foggy Time

It was quite sometime ago she called my name

Took away all the sunshine and left me only rain

Pastures, meadows, flatlands, and Midwestern states of mind

Washed her from my memory, watched the years unwind

Until the city called me back again

I packed up my life, my favorite pen

Drove myself insane and then

Let the thoughts of where she's been

Dissolve into the soapy clouded mist of foggy time

My laughter was a thin transparent veil

That hid the wolf from the hooded girl as she skipped on down the trail
