Roadkill


No one knows the coyote that bleeds in me.

   No one knows my heart is an open road

No one knows the sound I softly whine

  But I do. I do.


I will wake today and carry my body

     I will wake today and carry my bones

I will tread until I reach the highway


Coyote,

	Bleed

		Bleed

			Bleed.

Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
