Companion

if you ever see a man 
over whose head an arrow levitates 
black of soot 
and heavily pointing downwards 
the man could be me 
and the arrow my companion 

please smile at me when you see me 
don't mind my arrow friend 
hail it and stay for a moment 

if you ever mean to see 
over your own head 
an arrow levitating 
pale with fright 
and pensively pointing into space 
the man you find am I 
come in and be my companion 

please smile at me when you see me 
don't mind our arrow friend 
hail it and stay for a moment
