352. LINES THROUGH MY HEART

LINES THROUGH
MY HEART
Wires overhead and lines through
my heart, the railroad steel covers
this land. I've got nowhere to go
but where it leads.
-
A wild turkey, single and lone,
walks the field alongside me.
The slowly passing train, as voyeur,
fondles what it sees; a slight violation
of fact. The turkey, on the other
hand, knows nothing
of any of that.
