Accordion Man
The music swells and fills
the room
and fills the void
betwixt
what might have been.
Are you dreaming Accordion man?
of lyrics from home
and friends
ideals of youth
depleting on alien shore
where loud people
bewilder
strangers to your ways.
Play on Accordion Man.
Are you happy accordion man?
relinquishing
youth’s yardstick
surrendering, striving
against poverty’s scar
foreign daughters
growing
oblivious.
Play on Accordion Man.
The music swells and fills
my heart
and fills the void
betwixt
what might have been.
