AmbulanceA Poem by kevin wallsthoughts...Like an old friend befriending again, the knobs on the doors, creak to every pass, they age filling up with memory’s and wear, the tear of human touch the tearing of human flesh of relationships, of everything in between, with the clock staring down smiling, the little hand counters the advances of the bigger hand, the only one that loses is me, my time, the little girl counters the advances of the bigger man, the only one that suffers is me, wasting time, intentions fall through the cracks in the pavement, the buildings look down and smile, a yes is a polite no the darker side to black is white Roofs fall in dogs bark The shiny ambulance, its like Christmas what a funny thing to die on Christmas The buoyancy of belief the uninterrupted dream I am indifferent Where would you like me to hang my coat? Where would you like me to hang my hate? Suddenly music plays as you walk through the door The once in a while smile makes me fall again Love is more obscure the closer I get, the closer I get the more obscure you get On the cusp of compromise Please open the bathroom door and lets talk this over Glistening moons and poolside reflections Subtle but pensive The slowness of clocks That spark of faded memory the emblem of yesterdays triumphs Cinnamon autumn The sound of rustling leaves Sitting in a quiet park bench teetering on the brink of insanity So this is what ordinary life feels like Don’t trust your body to the laws of gravity Broken bits of half hearted truth The dark moaned against the guessing sky You burnt your wings hugging the sun Where you lay rotting I am but a few steps away Memoirs and preventive manuals Just one sandbag to stop the flood of depression Just one sandbag to stop the flood of reflection © 2008 kevin wallsReviews
