All That Is Uphill Bows to What Is Below It
In particular
this road and its ferocious curve
bows to the ravine
The guardrail
following the turn
has pried itself away from the road
in the middle of the curve
The metal remembers the car
that collided with it
This morning, in that same spot
another broken car
held in the rail’s broken arm
this reminds me of a 1960''s song by Jan and Dean, 'Dead Man's Curve'. about a treacherous stretch of road in the Bel Air area of Sunset Strip in L.A. Your dad might remember this song, Hannah
ReplyDeleteGiving a mind to a guardrail is one of the most original things I've read. I like the intensifying focus, like "the rail remembers the car because it hasn't been repaired." But then the revelation, that, a more sudden reminder took place.
ReplyDeletehey nice post mehn. I love your style of blogging here. The way you writes reminds me of an equally interesting post that I read some time ago on Daniel Uyi's blog titled How I Was Able To Control The Feeling Of Restlessness .
ReplyDeletekeep up the good work.

Gorgeous words.
