Down Home and Back Around Once More – Written Wednesday 10th May 2023 (Aged 48)

Down Home and Back Around Once More

down home –
and back around once more
here i am –
as the mystic
the one i never really was
back –
to that time –
when i was so young
i had no tangible appeal
and my thoughts –
hung weary –
from every stepfather’s mansion
no time –
for actual expansion
listening to songs and records
like an alternate fashion
dreams were roasted
and problems were apparent
down home –
and back once more
cradling all of those years
tugging at the lies
and all of my fears




James Garratt – Wednesday 10th May 2023
