The Mercy Path

Once you bypass

the last starched lightning tree

you enter a hillside world

of midnight stream

and border wire music.


Here, across shilling debris,

early shadow

and blisters of high mist,

nature composes movement

from iron and broken bone.

Time has no future along forgotten paths. So be it. 

The Mercy Path can appear to be grim, tired, depressing. It is however, often beautiful.
