City lights
Melt
Away smudged rearview
Halo glow fades distant
Late (early?) long road
Gospel night
Moonlit kudzu
Smell woodsmoke
Creek water
Listen
Guitar string
Sacrament angel mind
Forgive me
For
I
Have
Sinned
And been sinned
Against silk bound midnight
Forgives all
Night wind
Lonely
Tells stories for
Children stop listen
Cloud fist clench
Sainted shadow dance
Between holy headlights
Guardrail teeth grin
Fog soft neon veins
Which way?
Light again
Baleful specter mother
Birthing gas stations
Video store, drive-in
Every blurring beckoning
Consumer wallet coffin
Graveyard dirt spare change
Prayers on cigarette smoke
Rise
Seek great empty again
Before the story ends
For What Limes
