dirt roads
to train tracks
deer in head lights
still blind afraid to see

blue
sky

flames keep
me warm

is it not
nor-
mal
to be by
your-
self

when the sun
spends the whole
day alone

 

 



Strange
sen-
sation
walking on
con-
crete

the
old man
said

with the
death of the
past

con-

fused

 

how long

have you

used

 

some-

one

else's

 

way

of

thinkin
