Highways Poems - Poems about Highways

Between the black gutters and the painted ceilings, Dogs teach dolls how to die. Study the rot in my bicuspids, file down the calluses and watch the heartbeat Shake the skin like strychnine shivers. Whispers fill the space between the curtains, hanging from the scaffolds Hushed against the legs, porcelain and fractured, Broken down the middle. Kintsugi can’t restore the...

For 30 years I drove to work, On highways that I knew. The early morning traffic Was so light I almost flew.

My destiny is divinely designed The lies of the devil cannot change it Challenges are transit points That connect me to my destiny As I ride through life’s stop-overs I refuse to be stuck at transit points by challenges And miss my gateway to God’s promises The tougher the challenges the greater the greatness Challenges redouble the anointing They bring me closer to...
