Heart like a wheel

Decided now to ride the rails and
skip the ties
slide down these silk steel bands in exodus
take the lift and jostle of these wooden crosses
wheels clattering, crossing
whispering in prayers of passage
drum heart drum
take me there now and here and now
sparks of gravel chewed by wheel fragmented outward
eyes window open seeing fields of you
hemmed latitudes in green and fresh cut earth
going heart drum moving on
glass of me studying the metal maps
needing fields of you to soften greying lines of transit

(1995)

I like this overall, though the title makes me think of Linda Ronstadt. ;)
Thanks for sharing.

Yeah, the title was an afterthought that I tacked on last night. It makes me think of a female race car driver - so it should probably go. ;)
