Up up endless stairs
Under the merciless sun
Skin slippery from sweat

Blast from the Past:

On a boat tethered
With the full moon as the
Shadows dive on down

The True Rulers of the Land:

The birds who always
Can find their home and the seeds
Digging into earth

Blast from the Past:

I must move
Venture to the next place
Never confined by a home

To the man who pursues more—
Will tomorrow be worth your while?
Or just part of an endless pile?
Why should you go one more mile?

Blast from the Past:

I climb the mountain,
And now what?
There always seems to be
Another mountain to climb

Flying down the mountain
On the back of a motorbike
Bump, bump, bump throbs my butt
Each thud sliding me further back in the seat
Until I slide into the metal grate
The tiny guard preventing me from flying off the edge

Blast from the Past:

My last chance to feel.
I am this great, unstable
Mess of blood and mud

Hiked through one landscape
And then another landscape
So many landscapes

Blast from the Past:

The wild fire
Coursing through me sends me off
In all directions
If only I knew
Which path to follow

Considering the
Strange world we live in, why choose
To stay in one place?

Blast from the Past:

When your heart’s afar,
It’s just gone to a new place
Where you should join too.
