Junkyard


Skeletons, glass, rust
Frames, empty, funeral
Dirty, broken, shattered, bodies
Ripped, crushed, bent
Oil, mangled, silent, ugly
Mirrors, destroyed, metal, gas
Sliced, vinyl, dusty, chrome
Melted, jammed, torn
Iron, steel
Quarter panels, bumpers
Rubber, gears
Crashed, outdated, wiring
Turn signals, valves, bolts
And pistons

Machines
No longer turning over

In death
There is discovery
From within
This curious child

That wants to transform
These things
Even if it’s within his own mind

Death into beauty

Resurrection

As small
As a thought.
