fall along

Post by mindbum » November 6th, 2007, 12:56 pm

fall along
traintracks
wheels turn
in the grips
of gravity
& motion
& the warm embrace
of friction
over the bridge
as the sun
on my black coat
& brwn hat
& scarf o many colors
made by an old lady
in texas i never met--
each wheel
is heavy & round
& bears us down
the incline
further decline of light
in predictable circles.
godless & songless, western man dances with the stuffed gorilla through all the blind alleys of a dead-end world.
