I have a goal of 50 days - 50 haikus - responding to 50 different songs. These are songs with lyrics that I feel close to. I've started with the David Bowie track The Man Who Sold the World, recorded and released in 1970, about a month after I appeared on this earth!
David Bowie - The Man Who Sold the World
The Man Who Sold the World
Stairs where old friends meet
Face to face with ghost like eyes
Hunting for myself.
