crux of the morning
driftwood braces grace the gateway
crosswise and crossed out
a motorcycle ride gone wrong
crosses nailed onto the tree
and flowers by the roadside
the punishment of nothingness
in the face of eternity
make of me an example oh lord
where have you gone
the invisible hand reticent
so too the garden of earthly delights
the writing on the stalks there spoke
with mouths of petaled lips singing
away away go far away
tend to other gardens
the seeds will scatter on the wind
and make new land for you
oh the inevitable sign of life
that came before him out of the sky
the clouds had boiled away
revealing headlight shapes
but by then it was too late
for all around cracked asphalt smoking
rusted red in blood and burning wreckage
then only tail lights in the black
