Roller Coaster

Chug up, push
down lift over roll 
forward running 
knowing one will
follow others. 

Chug down, pull
forward, pry up
backward crawling
guessing others
lead to more of less. 

Up and down and
forward backing
love and silence
linked together riding
roller-coaster-like,
wanted undesired. 

Days and evenings 
given taking work and
playful inklings lost,
the serious small 
injuries compile
to hemorrhage life, to

death we travel 
swift and slow by 
blinks and swallows 
flying, limping wishing
for a mindful heart that
filled instead of emptied.
