Rock And Roll

It’s happening again
I rock
Back and forth
To stem the flow of memories
The rolling sensation
End over end
Crashing and splintering
Through the central reservation
Round and round
Screaming and crying
Until the rolling stops
And the car comes to rest in my mind
Everything is still
No movement from the other side
No motion at all
Too still
So I rock
To stave off the stillness
To push back the memories
To remind myself I am alive
Even though he is not
