next crossroad

walking in desolation, isolation
road weary, rutted with time
leather-like skin over face.
Thinking of last crossroad
pondering twists on path
wondering what might have.

Hindsight clear as eagle eye
foresight hidden in darkling
only here and now, clearly.
Occasional tear puffs the dust
step after step taking toll
memories, dreams, breathing.

Don't we always question
decisions made, directions
minds dwelt in might haves.
Steps like pennies in jars
thoughts like rain in water
time stretching to and fro.

At rest once upon, again
hat in hand, mopping brow
next crossroad, awaiting.
Bird circles far up and away
struggle to feet cast of iron
walking in desolation, isolation
