No Name In Sarajevo

This old year will pass and within the hour lost friends dim away in thoughts and still I mind the times before everything was reduced to straying with clear vision in the dark evenings under red carnival lights and the tunes of a chortling girl at my side and I pretended the magic was still there and I felt the Evil near by although I could see error all round and old enemies crouched in merry nightspots yet feckless I went among them laughing and my pretty girl said what interesting and  witty friends I had.
