A Loss Of Memory Poem by Kyle Schlicher

dying last gasp of breath.
strange
sounds coming.

a wind blows
across
a desert plain in the midwest.
tumbleweeds
rolling
beyond
the clusters of rock outcroppings
and
scrawny trees.

lonely highway
disappears
into the mysterious night hours.

rusting road signs.
empty motels-

VAC_AN_Y! !

FlAshINg deep-
deeper
into
the
photographs stored inside the brain.

sad song playing in the distance.

without you-
your heartbeat- by my side
it is a long walk
to
the
next
rest stop.
