Give me a shemagh
And a
Jacket for the rain
Let me hide
From the breeze
A pair of leggings
And (a)
Two platform shoes
So I can walk
Through puddles and streets
Red and blue
Bruisy hues
Green and grey
Colors of cuts, too
Salted wounds
Scars from
Vagabondage
Black wrapped clothing
Bandaging
City nights like
Those by Van Gogh
I feel so royal
Colored
Drab and indigo
Give me a shemagh
And a
Jacket for the rain
Let me walk
And deeply breathe
Every microgram
Of dye
Drops stain my body
My wrapping wicks
The wounds away
Give me a shemagh
And a
Jacket for the rain
I’m on the run
A vagabond
I feel so royal
Colored
Drab and indigo
These starry nights
Are ones I know
Dressed in indigo
And drab I’ll go
