Carrying Your Ghost #26

Our

War horses

Were nothing

To brag about

But we did

The best we could

With what

We had

And I still

Laugh sometimes

When I think

About that mess

You rode

The broken cables

Attached where

They didn’t belong

The car battery

Strapped to the

Back seat

Keeping it going

I still remember

Cruising

Next to you

Listening to

That car stereo

You had jammed

Into your

Busted up

Old fairing

And I wish

That I knew

Where our

Old machines

Are now

I wish

I could somehow

Have them back

To try to

Reclaim even

A few of those

Moments

We had

But I imagine

That they are

Out there

Somewhere

Melting slowly

Into the prairie

Just like

You and I

Are slowly

Melting away

Into the

Endless prairies

Of time
