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...
