\"LOVE-AND-DEATH-1-Z1029F\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Looking at you<\/p>\n

As the convoy rolls in<\/p>\n

On sullied tires;<\/p>\n

I feel the rumble of bumpers collide<\/p>\n

Your hands;<\/p>\n

Are not fully cognizant<\/p>\n

Of the pavement,<\/p>\n

Although cruising along<\/p>\n

At an acceptable pace<\/p>\n

\u2026Down the trail<\/p>\n

On toward my demise<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are more efficient ways<\/p>\n

To eradicate the essence<\/p>\n

Than to scatter its ashes<\/p>\n

Along the curbsides<\/p>\n

Of resentment,<\/p>\n

Amid nonchalant chaos,<\/p>\n

And on the footsteps<\/p>\n

Of an airstream<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But you do things the hard way<\/p>\n

Never for a moment aware<\/p>\n

That<\/p>\n

We all look empty<\/p>\n

From a doorway<\/p>\n

Waving our goodbyes<\/p>\n

With tear streaked faces<\/p>\n

And unfilled palms<\/p>\n

But<\/p>\n

The door shuts<\/p>\n

And life perseveres<\/p>\n

Whether we pray for it<\/p>\n

Or not<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I will rise<\/p>\n

In the shadows<\/p>\n

Of a perfect sentence<\/p>\n

In the corner<\/p>\n

Of your favorite room<\/p>\n

In the glazed eyes<\/p>\n

Of your mechanized lover<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And you will see that<\/p>\n

Love and death<\/p>\n

Are not interchangeable parts<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

But collective<\/p>\n

Collaborators<\/p>\n

In the engine<\/p>\n

Of your misplaced life<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
