a yr. ago
i was riding the Royal Gorge
though my spirit was flying high
above
now i can barely make ends meet
the Kansas landscape a yr. ago
gave me a moment to pause
a life unlived
at least now i was in motion
my mind turning a thousand directions
at once
now my thoughts are cluttered
again
passing over the Mississippi for
the first time
a yr. ago
in the land of the delta blues
chasing my ghosts away
burying them hundreds of miles
from my home
now the skeletons have returned
to dance their dance for me once
again
