potholed , boulder strewn
winding path up steep inclines
unwavering goal
water cascades down
wearing , skirting , bounding rocks
I will make my way
~07 Jul 2016~
The road is not the best
it is close to not at all.
Just when you think
you've had enough of this
washboard, potholed
ribbon of hell.
The fire weeds that edge
the roadway
capture your curiosity
with rich abundance
of dancing colors.
Night sky: lifeless, dull, chalky gray
Apathetic expressions face one way
Eyelids heavy, long day
Foggy windows, potholed roads
Warm breaths exhaled, the seats are cold
Zombied stares at blinding screens
Infinite autopilot, we're all machines
Forty years of bad road,
a path of broken glass
Potholed memories line my thoughts,
devil waiting fast
Daring me…
“Retrace your steps,
your quickest way back home
“Forty years of shattered dreams
—ahead the millers stone”
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
Forty years of bad road,
a path of broken glass
Potholed memories line my thoughts,
devil waiting fast
Daring me—“Retrace your steps,
your quickest way back home”
Forty years of shattered dreams,
—the future paved in stone
(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
one sided perception
a mirror reflection
feelings get penned
when I feel hemmed in
always the same direction
about a heart's inflection
rain that won't stop
and potholed blacktops
not looking for resurrection
or scattered affections
just looking to make sense
using a different tense
Driving through the broken, potholed streets
Lined with houses spanning decades
Each with a thousandfold more character
than that of the cookie cutter impostors they call homes
I appreciate the creaks and groans
Much more than the sheen of granite stones
Value comes down to values.
What are yours?
J'aime la vie…I love life, with all that it brings
Alleviating the jarring pain of potholed roads
Labour uphill, thankful for easy descents,
Observe the rules, most watchful for red lights
Plagued at times by ailments, wear and tear
Yet, like a defiant aging car, I chug on and on.

morning fog diffuses light
the sun has lost direction
and the world is enveloped
in silence
skeletal trees line
the potholed road
as two scrawny crows
huddle in the bare branches
yesterday's mass murders,
flooding across the pond,
asteroids,
sudden solar wind.
magnetic pole reversal,
drowning in our effluence?
sow many ways
4 world to end
There is an advantage
travelling on a corrugated road
From the bumpiness, a body massage
stimulates every lymphatic node
Many slow miles across narrow corrugated potholed tracks
that's the way we had to travel
All these country roads
with the surface constructed out of gravel
Not so good for family car rapidly worn out
before too many miles, made it hard to sell
Now these roads are smooth and sealed
a different story now to tell
