am i road splitting two dry fields. crawling
toward certain death. unnatural
instincts. unknown breath. furry-mouthed
bloodied brethren. witness destruction
inside looking outside. who feels
what. ask the real questions. dare me.
i am mother holding. hands clenched
wheel turning. stop music. folding. heart
races. breath lost. feelings aren’t
truth. outside looking inside. where
did you go. still here. rearview mirror
sees wind. bright eyes. keep asking.

That’s so kind of you to say, Roy. I’ve been reading a lot of poetry lately and trying to get out of my own way (overthinking everything). I’m glad you love it.

Thank you. I’ve not been writing much lately, but I’m glad you read this one. I’ll have to tell you the true story behind it soon. It was a scene straight out of a horror film.
