Dylan

I walk past an open window;

I hear her coo like a morning dove

My lips will not touch this willing temptress;

nor step back to hold her love

My destiny is the distance,

The road a lengthy romance

An openness beholds me, even as trails are narrow and forlorn.

On dusty days I thirst for rain

Under muddy skies I drown alone

When l close a country window, I hear no morning dove

And to answer Dylan muses: I’ve not visited those Northern Fairs;

nor felt winds blow heavy along their borderlines

But my destiny is the distance,

And my romance is not there

Tomorrow is an open window

I’ll hear the wail of a winter dove
