“The Girl in the Black Raincoat"
Thinking of you this evening,
I think of mystery;
I think of umbrellas of crystal
Shading a cinnamon sea;
I think of swallow-tailed shadows
Enveloping history;
And the past becomes the future,
And the present is yet to be;
And life is a rain-swept mirror
Through which perpetually
A girl with bright hair flowing,
Dappled dark coat blowing,
Into the unknown, knowing
Walks with me.”
