Stalled Time
The wheel of time carries my soul away
from the life rooted in the present
to the distant desolate land
where I was once, but left forever,

and generating the convivial flood of copious love,
time carries to inundate the landscape of lives carved
in my mind

she pushed the throttle, her engine roared
yet she stood still
her mind raced like a couple of teenagers- late at night, pushing pedal to the medal
on a lone stretch of beach kicking up dirt, indigo steam pumping out of the exhaust pipes
bright’ s on shinning the dark empty roads
1,2, 3, flag is down and she is
