Laying Down Lines
I am making these lines through the golden green of evening
tracing its glory light with the worn dark soles of my shoes.
It’s a time I have repeatedly sped through in the past
making hard lines for always somewhere else
leaving my yearning like a lost trail behind me.
Now I am lingering, laying down lines
timelines, lay lines, ends of lines
along old green lines long since axed
well past their glory days.
Tracing these parallels because you.
For you, with you, though you
have long since sped on by.
Via these lines, between these lines
I am leaving marks, laying you down
marking time
taking you
to the end of the line.
