A Hiker Gasps a Dream

Death shrieks a pebble

Down the dusty-road 

Corn stalks and spiders sing

Silence and division

Gravel shouts boot-heels


A steel beast hums a rusted ode

As crows and eagles implode

The clouds float a witness

The wind blows sweet distress

An engine fires a scream


A hiker gasps a dream…
