the fold of fall and the familiar skin that followed

He had his skin folded
over the mountaintops that day

His hair, just above the crease of his neck
where the waves
could still reach him
feel his ease
pin the ripe greens
that sat adjacent to the sea

He stood against his small, oval shaped patio
overlooking the round, shaped city

The wind against his back
and a small part of him
rather, a small piece of his memory
felt the nostalgia, music
like small beats of the shallow road
He use to drive on,
strumming through the air
Riding against the pine oak trees
of his cities winding landscape

Skin folded
like the band of brothers
that stormed through
the mountains with their eyes half closed
as each reached for each others shoulders

Skin folded,
along his soft, crest patio

When a poem compels me to read it three or four times,
I am impressed by the skill and just enough mystery with which it was written. Your poem makes wonder more about the characters in the poem. Was he a biker? How many years have gone by since the ride?
For what reasons were his brothers' shoulders and so on? Very much enjoyed!

Misce-

Thanks for the kind words. I'm happy it brought you back again for a second read....He was just a fighter - one that exists within all of us. Happy you enjoyed, take care.

Cheers
