Is this the place that I call home
 1
Where heads lay rest
 2
I've never known
 3
---Where bodies entwine
 4
In the passing fantasies
 5
of every swine
 6
and boy I see.
 7
 
 
Is this the room I lay at night
 8
Where strangers join
 9
for a short delight
 10
---Where love mundane
 11
and words caress
 12
The eyes that strain
 13
as hands undress
 14
 
 
Is this the body I call my own
 15
enthralled in hopes
 16
of what's unknown
 17
---Where grasping and scratching
 18
confuse tired minds
 19
and revealing and attaching
 20
consume all I find
 21
 
 
Is this the place that I call home
 22
Where heads lay rest
 23
I've never known.
