A future road by Adam Parry
Tall straight trees
beckons us, before us
goes our laughter
mingling with the songbirds' song.
Grass waist high
blown with our breathes.
Wild cats watch from high rocks
as we dance and play
children again
like no children have ever been.
Together your hand in mine
We go.
by Adam Parry
1. A memory of a long-ago bus journey,
Marillion
is in. I eat a
money spider in the dark
at the back of the
fast-flowing bus.
I’m content as the
music starts and again
as the music repeats,
I am content.
2. Time, ticks, tricks of the mind,
Jonathon Richmond
is in, I eat
the rain as I wait
for the bus the music in head
sings louder than
the rain.
3. Cascades of trees speed me from my home,
Ten
Thousand Maniacs is
in, later a leaf flies in my window
And settles in my
lap and then more and I make
myself stew with
them.
4. Motorway hitch hikes about me, no music
today
I eat nothing
especially cheese.
5. All
the rivers of the world fly by
as my bus flowed in
the rain, raindrops on my tongue I need
as I left my ginger
in the bag in the hold.
The Cure is in my
dry ears, running for so long.
6 Tail-lights at the Terminus beckons me
and I run before it
goes hot in dawn’s cold
a song plays new
music a chorus of birds, greenness
everywhere as I get
on.
