So long
to this life
embracing an instant

colored by what I thought
it was to me
flavors, hints, shades & Hues
of:

Love, pain, fear, ecstasy
fire, freedom, exhalation
genius, despondency
infatuation, lust, hell-bent-desire

crashing and burning but
always returning to fire
a straight line through the galaxy

one extended fragment of unbroken
motion
cut like a groove on a record that's
been unbent

One long pure, unbroken, melodic
analog
