Sept 2010 Terrence L Cope click for larger image
Time sets on a million hollowed eyes, squinting, staring dazed through silver shadows
Shallow screams, ghost town, Angry words echo the empty halls, graffiti prayers ....its time .... we must go
Bluest eyes I’ve ever seen, tangled loves and broken dreams, as cars collide outside, careening in slo-motion
Souls depart on the next flight out, leaving only debris, broken glass , and memorials to their passing
Headlights blind, my mind and white lines, blur, forever eternal, to the roar of steel belts on asphalt
Everything I'd ever sought never came my way, except flashes of your silly smile and stupid things you’d say
Small shower of a cigarette glow explodes on the road, Take a drink and light another, breathing deep
Exhale, grey smoke, like a ghost, rises and dances in vails that disapear out a windows crack
Check the rearview mirror, ten years lie behind and I still remember ..... must keep driving ....
Have not traveled far enough, far enough to forget, monotony repeats itself and their's no time for a rest .......
