The last distraction of a hobo life
To guide me back to berth, a rose by name
You are, my rise, the next adventure I from which
Would like to not return the same
Here is the fork of casting off to stars
Or holding fast to charted highs and lows
The last distraction of a hobo life
But is this Dante or Rob Herrick’s rose
