They say NB is lovely this... or any time of year.


Oh, bearded wonder-

ah, me, your long-haired flower.

How you walk from city to city,

never stopping, no, nor resting.

How your house is made of canvas and,

oh, how I follow you,

perched upon your arm like a shirtsleeve

tattoo.


And yes, I'll stretch and fade

as your skin grows thin,

as we pass the years my ink

will seep so deeper in,

oh, bearded wonder,

your long-haired flower

is looking to stake in.


As long as you have starfish and

a pleasantly hairy chin, oh,

I'll follow to the city,
I'll follow to the water,

you can be my son, oh,

and I'll be your daughter.
