On the tracks
On the Tracks
By crakked.life
[Glenn San-dell]
Kiss this life on the tracks !
And, my perspective upon the rail,
Ruby droplets room abound
A letted life, leached I avow -
Wrong you are not,
Start here, lemon clinker
Clickety blot clickety blot;
1+1=3 down periscope
Backwards forward -
Drained upon a tie,
Of a buckled alignment lied,
At-an-end, the pitch blocks.
Weeping one unified vision
Amidst gondola, well-slip-sleeping-caboose,
es-em-es ! es-em-es
All will be forgotten,
Living rough, laugh out loud
Ones’ life mask far from proud,
Fires of you, letted vow -
Forward momentum asked; Now,
Cracked minds turf burner dehydrated,
Splayed ballast, deflated
Curves cant compare,
Stripped of doors, windows and wheels,
Skeletal remains loaded by metal crane
Sunken, the Pacifics’ high-floor.
About this poem
I am a creative. I am an artist. I like to paint with words and whilst painting like to take my audience on a journey. The words written this month haven’t been published. In essence these words are a call out to my son. Four children for which I adore. My everything. The call out is to my son as he called me a f***ken loser and hasn’t spoken to me since. He turned 18 not long ago. When Bardon laughs, it is a joy the elevates. The readers journey here (the poem) circles family, connection, life and death. My life. My death. Perhaps a suicide note - of sorts. Of sorts. more »
