Goodbye San Francisco
There is something to say of free onset will
How your people overjoy in togetherness
How the culture whips through my veins
Unfamiliar laundry mats
Covered in a language far ancient beyond my own
For this neighborhood I see beyond my eyes
Is more than a neighborhood
But a way of togetherness
Rooted in tradition
Your cabled sunsets
And straight-lined boulevards
Sanded against the trifling curves of your body
Blossoming are your colors
Of your towns and people
Rusted away in etched fog
I leave with you in my heart
For I now really know what my heart is capable
The entirety of love and sacrifice
Purely vulnerable in your rolling hills
Goodbye to you
And your everlasting memory
