Slow Ride
There is tarnish on the ring
you gave me
The sparkle has dimmed
on the diamond
around my neck.
Are you there?
Are you caring?
Or just enjoying the evening
Humming to the songs.
Why do I care
In my despair
Burdened and bludgeoned
In the dealings of life.
Bass notes
Pounding pounding
In my ear
Slow ride
into the darkness
Boom Boom
Into the years.
