——
You derail me—
Like a cool freight
Train and I lose
My way veer so far
off track
We both know
I won’t make it
Out
And you just keep
Rolling on
You
Have agendas
Depots
Promises to keep
I fall down through
Flamboyant green woods
Dark and unfamilar
Trees snap
My wake scarred earth
And fuel leaking
ember sparks flying
Heap of coalfire
Twisted iron glowing
Glass and heart pieces
Like Parade candy
All over the ground
Torn wood catches
And I am aflame
Like a silly Valentine
In this absolution
Savior Love—
Is speaking
His licking tongues
Sharp and hot
As any devil’s tail
Choking smoke
billows can be seen
A hundred miles away
From this wreckage
And you—you
Just keep on
Keeping on
You got agendas
Depots
Promises
(To keep)
