LITTLE WHITE FLOWERS

after the car wreck
while you broke down
and soaked up the rest of your blood and collected the flood
you reflected the thud with a still state it really felt great
all of the lies that you’ve seen through and been behind
died on the glass in the crash with the speed of your need to grow
and your need to know where what you lost was found

now that you’re here
there is no need to steer
so you go and blow clear of the road
until your ode and your tune is soon
what they call e minor, c major, g major, f
and all you find are some ants crawling over some little white flowers
and some little white flowers
and that’s all anyone needs to know in order to grow

there with the ants crawling
over you and over your page
drawing trails for your poems tracing traps for the maps
that you drew with new wisdom you were so close to home
all of the lines in your eye are like the rings of a tree
and the depth of your life now that you’re broken you see how
dying’s a good way to start a new life

after the car wreck
while you broke down
and soaked up the sound of no engine
you thought that you heard the birds mention
it’s never too late
and all of the time that you spent trying to get you somewhere
you were already there spinning wheels wasting gas
it’s a good thing you crashed
