Past undone

sorenbarrett

A song begins at the end

Stretched tape now broken

A road that doesn't bend

Words are not unspoken

 

Ages unspooled can't go back

Seconds linger

History in a torn sack

A clock in a wringer

 

Time eats it's shadow

Death jumps in a hole

Liberal rednecks in Colorado

A hangman climbs a barber pole

    Doh! They wish all my songs would begin at the end - when I'm singing 'em, that is! lol.

      3 incredibly powerful stanza's so much imagery and emotion your last lines gave me goosebumps as the imagery is painful. Superb as ever. 🌹

        Thank you so much Teddy Your reviews are always too kind. Hope the imagery was not too painful.

        They say that time can only go forward, we can only change the past in our mind. A chilling write my friend, that speaks to ghosts of the past. The time ticks on and your words capture its indifference. Kudos!!
