Long Haul

Leave a reply 
my straight back  
hurts 
on these long stretches 
I cannot see 
the road ahead 

moving 
in one direction 
the blood that keeps on going 
round, round 
and round again 

the pain in my lungs 
I am no superhuman 
brick walls 
they hold me out 

it doesn't matter 
which turn 
I take, I know 
the destination lies ahead
