Roadside Scene

by Willi Brown


First there is a road

climbing past sandstone cliffs

and parked beside it this car

trunk open to the wind

and I'm standing there

left hand in pocket

right hand shading eyes

watching the sky

changing colors

metal red blue gray

and this sound

in my mind

also like metal

turning ON

as karma/joy/rage

(a thick warmth moving through)

turns this scene

slightly black and white

at the edges

so that I must breath

once quickly

get back in the car

and drive slowly

away.
		

next



tuesday...
