Demolition Derby Car, originally uploaded by DRheins.

Left to rust in weeds

on the cool banks of the Gorge

wrecked from your life's work

your race has been run

stripped of wheels shot full of holes

life left you a wreck

Interesting and a little depressing, such is the fate of some, not always by their own doing.

Incredible poem and photo. That rusty car begs to be painted (on canvas that is).

Sometimes I feel like that car.

I really like these short, crisp poems, and their accompanying images.
