Companion

if you ever see a man
over whose head an arrow levitates
black of soot
and heavily pointing downwards
the man could be me
and the arrow my companion

please smile at me when you see me
don't mind my arrow friend
hail it and stay for a moment

if you ever mean to see
over your own head
an arrow levitating
pale with fright
and pensively pointing into space
the man you find am I
come in and be my companion

please smile at me when you see me
don't mind our arrow friend
hail it and stay for a moment
