'days give way' or 'spinal paths'

'days give way' or 'spinal paths' timothy r gates, 1/4/2011

days give way to
ways
waves give way to
drownings,
if not ridden well
stories give way to
another's story,
written well or not
spinal paths give way to
spinal tails
not without a need to
applaud another's path's end.
hell with it,
i clap loudly
i love the way of this path
to the small of her back,
yes, on any given day.
