Dirt Tracks


Do sharp pangs suddenly strike

Of beguiled guilt buried deep inside

When I revealed to you a sudden loss

In which you never thought to think of twice


Our roles seem simple comedy

One cries and the other laughs easily

This never ending merry-go-round

Will only cease when one stops riding


The bruises we cause and those we keep

Make for bittersweet memories

In weakness they appear as enemies

With time they are realized as epiphanies


Hubris makes a capricious friend

It may break or save us in the end

We’re in the palm of each other’s hand

Never quite getting what we each planned
