You Always Wanna Take the Backroad by D.R.B.

9/2/2018

Inhale the open air
let the blue skies blanket you
a place I call home is now sorrow
you were a keystone in the bridge that made the covered bridge strong.
Strong as a Peterbilt like the rig you put miles in
complex as the winding roads you devoured under those wheels
“Just cuz you’re old doesn’t mean you’re dead.”
Forever young was the wisest
smile down on me now as I remember the old dusty trails we blazed
laugh at the certainty of joy
feet on the dash
tequila and tail lights
when the red dirt settles
All is a great tragedy
Hank never sounds the same
The drink is never strong enough and the road is never long enough
The loss trains the mud clots in my treads but never ends the journey
