Eve Roper Poet Verse

Living a Vagabond Life

Huddle in a corner of an opened boxcar
rolling through meadows and golden  crops
In the melting gloom sits a vagabond 
who's clothes are caked in congeal, odour, filth.

A wandering existence
a choice of rootless alienation
waves goodbye, goodbye to
smoldering embers of outrage.
