Cole and Lee

Spattered revisions drip heavily
Across a history of burned boots
Turning birdcages into ink spots
Bruising hearts in empty theaters

You knew time was wheeled out
Spoke-n desert equations revolve
x-pert and y-ore mines abandoned
Within new formulaic terrains

Propelling your back into a silence
Pulling a body through memory
Forcing Shivers through a lens
Emerging quarked and renewed

Some fundament precisely geared
Shifting to make the hard climb
Away from skin shed on asphalt
Like a precipitate newly distilled

Raining parables on strangers lost
Breath fogging rearview mirrors
Dusting ratios found in shadows
Abandoned by prone leafless minds

You gripped lost and found hands
Placed coins on closed road eyes
Set stones above our grave marker
Bled bytes from cracked oscilloscopes

Cell by cell revolutions revive us
From afar we watch friends ride on
Unspoken and smiled upon gestures
Bringing home the forsaken brakes

Now I stop blinking again and watch
As evolving memories speed past me
A blurred doppelganger slipstream
From when I met you and your friend
