The floored pedal
leapfrogged
deserted miles,

demons left for
dead
on bridges
burnt
with glee

never look back
at the flickering match

echoes on pause
napped inside my head.

Inspired by this prompt from Fierce Force for Chalkboard.
This Avett Brothers song’s been bouncing around in my head ever since.
