Anthony Bianco Poet Free verse

Speed Bump

She was on the rebound
high on freedom's speed
our coordinates collided
in a silver speck of time. 

we dumped our seeds
upon a neon galaxy
but nothing ever blooms 
on that starry autobahn
I was just a speed bump,
to her leather studded charm.

Caren Krutsinger March 17, 2019 at 3:22 AM Sad to think this, and yet it happens. I hope it did not happen, but the truth of it tells me it probably did. Sad.
