Notes About The Poem

WANDERER

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Dust forged by wind, not roads—a cornflower blooms in cracked asphalt, whispering move Feet never still— electro fused to earth's pulse, mapping constellations in mud Sky always vast— horizon a blue promise that tastes like rainwater and rust Home just a word— sewn inside coat lining, worn thin where the heart presses close Alone but not lost— the moon knows his shadow by name, calls him kin

Wonderful visual. Great imagery. Yep, I recall the road as a kid, wandering, hitching rides. True words. Real feelings personified. Great write!
