dave

tick tick tick tick tick tick tick
mmmmm
a race inside

ticks out of my veins
and i am not an athlete
takes my breathe

he dumps more dirt
and i feel the weight
the sound of the thump on my bare back

reminds me of a day
dark sunny day
where we walked
into a screen

to say goodbye
red clay in mounds
on a hill
we said good bye

as dirt dumped
hit
we cried
i was only 16.
my eyes wide
opened to see clear
i never turned back
it was a metaphor.
