Goodwill fleeting, 
Find your own, 
Way home, 
Wayward girl?
Heart beating. 

Running wood, 
Find your own, 
Beneath the stones, 
Bequeath thyself upon me, 
If you could? 

Girlhood needing, 
Find your own? 
Amongst these crones, 
Unsung men: do you exist? 
Girlhood bleeding. 

Living in Fleetwood, 
Find your own, 
Beneath the moans, 
Bequeath thyself upon him, 
Men in womanhood? 

My own skin sheeting, 
Find your own, 
Way back home, 
Wayward girl? 
Lips greeting.

Inspired by Fleetwood Mac's Rumours album and, as always, Sylvia Plath.
