Twenty Four Hours from Pulsar

by grimbeau

Heading upon three daylight,

Seems as dry as three nightlight.

Them crows sat rigid in sighing twilight.

Me, stuck fretting again

Waiting for the wheelwright.

‘Your universal joint’s gone west,

its serious, I’ll do my best.’ He frowned.

The tension is killing me

so I kick it back hard in the nuts.

It bolts.

You could not see its heels for dust.

‘I’ve cracked it!’ groaned the wheelwright straightening up.

‘You had pre-stressed oil: now you ain’t.’

I danced with joy, it started raining.

I only know the rain dance.
