The Poetry Of Ekho
            Sama


            
 


            
Gear Shift

            
Beneath the stars are stripes on strips
            of road all daunting,

            Haunting earthly men and mortals much

            Trees are meteors, with the shifter steering,

            Disappearing below the withered clutch.

            The foot floored the fire flower petal

            Metal did that petal touch.

            Touching the road were infernos turning

            Burning were the fire tires, burning up with such

            Icy antiquity 'phrozen' beneath the burning clutch.

            No comet shining snow has ever burned as much.
