to cut a groove in this life
I read and re-tread
I write and re-write
the old testaments
to create new amendments
to love memories
to live passions
to scratch signals
to cut a groove in this life
I chase birds
I ride higher
I drive faster
to arrive in peace
to enter the silent zone
and the sound of my ears
falls flat on my conscious
to cut a groove in this life
I look around to find
moist air
tall grass
pink roses
yellow flowers
a white handkerchief floating in air
surprised
I sit askance
to cut a groove in this life…
