escapeA Poem by sea lily
we drive, we make plans
you tell me i cannot sleep, not yet. surface abrasions dissolving when we are on the road. but we stop. she is poetry running meek, hat and distanced eyes and my cynicism melts. scuffed boots, a shorn head staring at the ground, uneasy steps wizened trees that could be me. resolved to stare through windows eyes misting up, despite resistance. this hair, this face, this burden are not mine. this life, this love, this past are not mine. eliminate them one by one. © 2008 sea lily |
