I wondered who said
miles and miles
and miles
of dusty, parched earth
and wheels on asphalt
would bring clairty
That the stretch of forever in your sight
would bring sun
through the fogged screen of your mind
and that you’d come out
feeling less alone
and more yourself on the other side.
Street lines, road signs, the traffic
occupied time and divulged energy
spent and was spent continuously
it’s been a long time since I felt this light
air blowing through the loose knit of my skin
the sun reflecting like broken glass,
every angle met with rainbows
and invisible pots of gold
This poem is to be continued at some point…
All the God’s are dead
they sit frozen in time
on our dashboards and in our temples
on ropes holding them tightly to our chests.
We pray like they can hear us
throwing petitions at the sky
like we are hoping for answers in the rain
when the only water here
are the tears down our face
while the old gods speak in silence
the modern gods dance
in a flash of light and noise
and disappear when the necromancy ends
