Love Poem: Back Seat

Written by: Eric Ashford

Back Seat

We lie back listening 
to the popping of stars in their dark pods.
I fish for words 
that are not raw and wriggling. 
You smoke a spiral staircase.
The car keeps swaying in our heads
over a shock absorbing silence.
I know you are looking through me, 
searching for love-bones
on a distant back seat.
