A Closure Somewhere in Time

Je’free

I journey through today's vehicle
speeding reckless with haunting memories,
naked past reflecting in the rear-view mirror

The faster my heart traverses,
the more it tears into pieces,
like petals in the sharp wind

Scarlet mumble of regret persists
Sometimes, I say it but I don't hear it;
or, sometimes, I hear it but I don't say it

In the tree of time, leaves of the future
cling on to branches of the present
that are affixed to the trunk of long-ago

It is a long stretch with no escape route
Somewhere in time needed crucial finality,
the only way I can open the next beginning
