Timbuktu ...





When I ring Richard, he's in the cemetery -

He's walking Jimmy between the yew trees -

As he walks, he shapes verses in his head -

He sees a different sky -

He stands at the frontier of an empty ancient world -

He sees the ruins of shrines -

The course of a dying river - 

He hears laments in the wilderness -

He journeys across this world with a different name -
