Meander - a poem by Fester Bryan

Meander - a poem by Fester Bryan 2006

 

Twist and Turn

Pathway, I can see you

Curved and bent ahead of me

Will you meander with no thought

Of the right way or the wrong way

Directionless, but ever forward

Never back

Always onward with time

Unable to be One Whole Thing

With no hours or days

But on the treadmill

I ride your wheel

Like a hamster

 

Pathway with no memory

I am driving you fast at night

Only the bright eyes of the Fox

And the whispering trees in view

Caught momentarily in the scorch of brilliant headlights 

 

Take me to a town like Seville

Where I can then meander

In the heat

To a different beat

And forget the relentless race

Of you
