My Soul

Going Forward

The campus with the car window

The outline is blurred and decadent

The wheels run over the rumble

I hear the shrill whistle

The way back is broken

I can only

Through the barred window

The other middle school me overlapped

I stood in the doorway without moving

As if

I was waiting for the past summer

I was waiting for the past summer to come running towards me like it did back then

That year, the wind blew across the playground track

Blowing through the sticky hair of the lunch break

And finally took away my blood

My memory

Going backwards

I still remember the time

Uneventful but crazy

Failure but pride
