Another Chance (+3)

I like hitchhiking

because it’s clean…

Its ending not restrained

by false beginnings

The future more indentured

than the past

With freedom wrapped inside

this very moment

Each car another chance  

—to say goodbye

Rock Legends

 

There’s a certain type of age

that can’t get old

 

Death caught within the road signs

of its bartered weakness

 

Where voices cry a fevered wish

to all who listen

 

And legends write their epitaphs

—on hearts afire

To Freddie

 

 Mercurial freedom

Beyond sexuality

Love trumping weakness

—truth beyond lies

 

(Villanova Pennsylvania: October, 2019)

 

 

 

To Chase

 

Dreaming in the shadows,

by the light of the moon

 

My feelings chasing words

—that can speak for us all
