Revised Road Trip (from Post to Post)

flashing white & yellow lines morse code hyphens saying not so fast
telephone poles carrying words, messages, sparrows, party lines
draped & following the highway closer than most cars do
silverstrung empty crucifixes, places for crows to rest
("as the crow flies" isn't incessantly, nor quietly)
once lodgepole pine highrises now they hold
no nests provide no shelter for the birds
who perch to witness furred life turn to
roadkill twitching in red cement cracks
hungry potholes growing deeper
and one foolhardy junco
flits, hovers, and full
STOP

***okay this is a revision of yesterday's, that may be cheating but we could always vote one off the island.****
