Him

One lonely figure
Not whole
Dancing in the dark
No. Squirming in pain
Piecies of him
Floating about in blackness
Red dark blood
Who took those pieces?
Ever to be put back?
Become whole again?
Heart not in one
But two
Not even man
But an outline
Filled with nothingness

On the Road

WOW! First 600 miles on my own
Wind rushing in and out, in and out
Husky midnight 85 Monte, I'm in control
Hands mastering the soft fuzzy wheel
Toes pressed upon hard rubber
Arg! No Cruise control!
I'm shaking
Taste of Rockstar lingers
Ug! Exhaust! Burned oil! Diesel!
Mmmm. Watermelon tickles my nostrils
Big beasts following
Lead into the distance by straight lines
