Cassady Lane


Abandoned

on the road of distant sorrow

mile markers bloody from the vagrants

it has claimed

All names

inscribed with crimson warnings

on devil written

eulogies

Their cries

entombed within an

eastern wind

— that blows away the dawn

 

(The Devil’s Highway (666): June, 2002)
