recovering notes from the deep, part 26


you've turned the inside of your arms
towards the sun
exposing them
finally burning them
like an old folk song
left on the highway
five hundred miles
is a long walk
never liked the idea
of leaving a place
and never returning to it
it's like leaving a piece
of yourself

there's a migraine
that's taken the lead
in a footrace
there will be no winners or losers
& no one's looking forward
to the finish line
could just fade away
a vanishing point
where excuses come easy
or not at all
after all
the song
is the journey
