drive


i am the way
this neck
of the woods
this leg
of the journey
hand to god

this highway's 
not a ribbon
it's a zipper
unzzzipped
your land 
rolls into my land

golden sweet
delicious deep
let freedom ring
honest 
and clear as 
the night 

eyes wild with
halogen soaked
promised land 
mountain songs
reach up
palm that star

the second 
from the right
it's no lie
shhhh...
just glide
let me drive

    the night

    Great swing to these words when read aloud... my favourite stanza.

There was a haunting beauty behind her eyes, beyond her sorrow, a beauty that found its way into one’s heart and led them home.

north

keith haring via magpie tales so which way are you up for? have you got yourself a hunch or a notion? go on and twirl your own pinwheel signpost or hop a ride on a boxcar sideshow so which way are you up for? your toes tripping up on compass roses? true north is them good shoes that brought you through narrow streets that defined & confined truth so which way are you up for? blaze a trail that inspires & ignites hope light a fire for the lost to come find you so which way are you up to, which way are you up for? 2014-Rene
