    Dedicated to my friends Bree and Chernold.

    flight on time

     <>





    i am backing up
    crushing old skulls and bones
    as i move

    i am backing up
    treading upon old love letters
    that got the better
                       of me

    i am backing up
    tripping the traps that snare
    and cursing the demons that dare
                       to hold this man down

    i am backing up
    to get that running start
    before i throw myself into the clouds
    and fly again with hope filled heart

    Exactly...not too deep or complex a poem in nature of delivery , it is more of a reminder to myself to stay focused and look forward. Thanks, Ex!

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
