SOOTY


blacktop speedster
throw your machine
around corners
you straighten
with forward intent

Dragon licking tatoo
dripping from the
neck
and the max output
thunders from
speaker boxes

like the recoil of a
great gun
your turret eyes
are froth green
and you

are always one
step ahead of all

like darkness at dusk
you leap under the
great wing of night

black worn boots
feathering pedals
of light metal

nicknamed from
playing in the ashes
of the fire

the smile
dazzles
like glacial welcome

you are strapped
in with racers
clasp

and into the mystery
you dash

energized from
throttle body assist
and super chip

its all low profile
thumpers
on the grid

the lights
are coming on
around the bay
like pearls
like beads
like dream lights
glistening
with ideals

High octane princess
with beat box
entails

sweet mystery prevails

erosional embrace

mixing two experiences in a tornada once listened to Trance rock for the first time then a woman explained to me her daughters life all hard rocks giving me a lift home (only woman to ever pick me up but she was nice..hard but nice and I shut my mouth and listened for a change..) all the new cars fast I see and this poem I threw out there not sure if it works or mixes well but its a story combining many elements of reality which is what Poetry is moulded from the angles of life Peace out Esker~!

my grandmas name Father side she was an exceptional photographer her photos ring in my mind like what I try my poems to be only modern instead of circa early nineteen hundreds (brothers in world war two) [adopted father] black and white Yes I love juxtopositions I imagine colourblind poets with a limited palatte and go from there In our day (mine) cars were big family cars sedans etc from dad or mom now they are economical and or small and racy with the beat that is also quite strong just something new Glad you think its a good call Kal Mr Esker~
