It's Still Life

A Road: A Collection of Disjointed Thoughts

It’s the dalliance of her undress. Her
silky hip. The filthy silence that follows.

And since you asked, my advice is
all roads windup with endurance.

I’ve traveled dry heat. Stony mirages.
A staff in hand. I drew green on dunes,

      for a change of scenery.
      A useless dalliance, perhaps.
      Like fishing a dry creek.

So draw a tree if you need shade,
but don’t walk your old buried roads.
