fast
by Sherri Sarantakis
 

fast, fast...
roaring down a two-lane backwoods highway
fast, fast...
hearing the click, the pop?
fast, fast...
colliding with destination

fast, fast...
eyes wide with fear
fast, fast...
but looking for an avalanche
fast, fast...
bury me in the realm of the senses
fast, fast...
realm of the heart/soul?
fast, fast...
"it's your eyes i want to see"
fast, fast...
"you see me, i got my magic pie"

riding in a fast car
not passing like ships in the night
screeching to a stop
digging deep
"got ya live on my mind"
find what we can find

bones bleached white on the shore
