Heading North

Irving


I can't remember 
when seeing faces 
in clouds and in leaves 
became better than in places. 
And as the sun goes down 
truning purpule, orange and brown 
I'm pretending I don't have a secret, 
pretending that I don't have to keep it, 
And though I'm heading North, 
will I end up right where I started from, 
where I started from? 
I know the pages 
are turning fast 
but I've read this book before 
and this part doesn't last. 
And as my head goes down, 
following cracks and lines on the ground 
I am looking a little older 
I am lookng over my shoulder 
And though I'm heading North 
will I end up right where I started from, 
where I started from?
