Lone messenger rides a dark horse
that kicks up dirt along a road
gathers speed to local destiny
with haste, grasps identities on the way
never to return
or ask the time of day

He's a carrier of nightly courts
swaps names and places as last resort
had lost his life long ago one sees
displaced from his mounted seat
a rider runs the local beat
to reach a final place you say
with a borrowed identity that day...

so dark hood covers the face
lest you seek a gypsy trace
cause he wanders not for lack of home
the final route rests unknown....
