Poems: Fading To Better

Fading to Better

took a long drive
here is what I saw
everything changing

everything in beautiful flux
molded elastically by time into
elaborate circles towards death
razing notions of stability
accenting the differences as life fades
leaving the essence, something finer
developing into potentialities realized

listen to the call of it
insisting on new positioning new rolls
even though things grow stiff and crackly
switching gears sometimes grinds teeth

never say you cant throw it in reverse
or turn the wheel
ripping and tearing the cloth that binds
tracking bleeding dies that fade
hoping for rusticity and completion as art
