Before I Forget


                        Dried dirt. No cash. Twenty one more
                     before
                  the turn. Black ice. Conditions why
                           I
            run dark. Thrown free. Run straight yet
                                 forget
      to look the right direction. Wet
         to my skin. Twenty more and then
            I break sharp left. Let me know when,
                                          before I forget.

    Before you forget, what had you gone out for?
          Before
    you forget, which turn took the way you knew?
          You
    will forget, yes, but getting lost’s no threat.
          Forget
    it all, and you’ll still make it home’s my bet.

    Wet and crashed, flat broke, in ice and dirt?
    Dream back how badly loving used to hurt,
                            before you forget.
