Junk Yard Loves

by David Knape

All the cars that were
that have ever been,
end up in junkyard rows
aligned from end to end,
and the contorted love
we shared inside of them
slowly fades away
dreaming what might have been

Our love affair with cars
all know where it began,
the first remembered most
when we became a man,
Eventually they die
our love compacted then
reduced to rust, grave friends
in automobile Stonehenge.
