Eyes of Tar
Nicole Low
I look at the tar road
and wonder the route of travel
does it take you routinely to desperation
or to freedom, to unravel
the black tar carries the load
holds the heat and weight
takes us to destination mode
so we can all escape
I walk bare foot
and relish the solid ground
thumb in the air and smiling
will you stop without a sound?
Your eyes are like tar
I see into them so black
is it freedom I see
or the desperation soul intact
The odds are the thrill
will this stranger aide my path?
or will the sirens be sounding
in the aftermath
I choose to walk the tar...
