Road snacks.
Sudden shock of breath
Horror cold; fluorescent lights
Now the mirror glints.
Cult of candle flame
Individual, grab hold!
Grow, but never change.
Skeleton haywire
Ascend from fire-shadows flat
Cursèd sleep no more.
Words without a home
Stray hairs---grey; and hymns to thee
Vagabond errant.
Styx and stones to mend
The boat; gaps between your teeth
Here and now. (refrain)
