Thanks, Andrew. After enjoying your maybes and autumn moment, I needed to look up Franz Wright, whom I had missed out on till now. Good also to find his ‘journey...' phrase in context: http://www.poetryfoundation.org/poetrymagazine/poems/detail/54283 and read about his troubled but creative life, over too soon. Your lines have a pleasant feeling of spontaneity about them. I wouldn’t mind reading a further version which builds up the opening a bit.
