seeds to sow

about

It was a hideous monster, but I have very fond memories of my first car. This was not about my first car, but it was someone's. I wonder what kind of freedom it brought them.

Like its older sister, “heart once lay,” this offering was based on a fixed verse form, but the haikus didn't want to drive.

This was written for Round 4 of SpinTunes 3.

lyrics

old abandoned rusty love
where did you go, these seeds to sow
seasons hot and seasons cold
unending rain, deepest snow

back roads
black hills
your motor
trills on

those happy days of rolling free
pedal down, you took me
your took me far, so far beyond
these silent hills did we abscond

back roads
black hills
your motor
trills on

it’s so unfair to leave you so
roll away steel tombstone
long you live beyond the grave
my aching heart did you once save

back roads
black hills
your motor
trills on
