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 passing towns   like sticky sweet hands?   my new words   my new eyes   my ever-changing skin?
