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.
Here,
where young people
never return
and there
are no paths,
is the place
language goes to die,
and old people
still stop to watch
lost cars
drive pass.
Cut
into bitter grey stone
by masters of dead trades,
is your complete life story.
Brief like you,
words from broken parents
target the elders,
who created your passing.
