Tonight I saw a hitch-hiker on the
black highways of my mind -
travelling to Beyond-the-Silvermoon...

Will I take him there?
Could I dare?
to leave behind my red shoes and
my pearls
following him, the
Dark Prince of my secret fantasies,
to a netherworld of roads,
all leading to the Golden Cities
of my imagination...

Will I take him there?
Could I dare?
to remove my black dress
and pink underwear,
down Tequila with the Devil
and get lost on the roads to the
Golden Cities....

leaving me by the side of
the black highways -
trying to find my way back
to my safe-and-warm pond...
to you
always you.
