Crash (to SDR)

~ Harlan Didrickson

And there

On an

Icy rural

Road somewhere

Between

I slid

Headlong into

You and

From that

Moment on

Everything has

Gone quiet

But the

Deep silence

Between us

Chloe

~ Harlan Didrickson

Once when

I arrived

Things were

Brown and

Now when

I look

Things are

Green what

Has changed

But you

And I

And time

Too (for Steve)

~ Harlan Didrickson

Once when

I stepped

Out the

Car and

Walked

My empty

Hand felt

Another’s

There in

Mine and

We two

Did walk

Too

Ocean (for Juan)

~ Harlan Didrickson

And just

When I

Felt lost

And dropped

To my

Knees

An ocean

Surf happened

Upon me

And there

In that

Fresh water

I remembered

You beside

Me licking

Away my

Tears

Tow (to Dave B.)

~ Harlan Didrickson

And in

Some strange

Way when

Upon my

Knees and

Broken you

Reached out

Pulled me

Up and

Set me

Upon your

Shoulder carrying

Me

As though

I were

A sack

Of flour

To sit

And gaze

Upon tomorrow
