Matthew on Nostr: Racing away Like time, Careering round blind bends On my own side of the road ...

Racing away
Like time,
Careering round blind bends
On my own side of the road
Travelling
Going nowhere
And anywhere
All at once.
Scented air
Fig and fennel
Orange blossom and thyme
Up to the stone city
Blistering in the heat
Ancient atmposphere
Alive with shimmering
Eagles and Ravens
Soar in spirals
And the island awaits
Like a beautiful promise
So hard to reach
But utterly present.
