UPSTREAM

 

 

 

 

 

Engine words roughed and ragged

fell out of him, crushing

the room, pushing back like

a wind energy

strengthening like a storm

wild with debris and alarm

waking the untrusting

slapping the innocent

Stirring an motion

wild with song

a moaning like windows opening

after winter silence

he stretches his hands in faith

when midnight swings

to pop and jive

as eyes speak lightening

he embraces the currents

of an upstream life

breathing hard with passion

in the life he commands

a freight train of emotions

he fills the void.
