Central California…foul bowl
Stagnant…fevered…deadly
I burn my soles
On ice cold souls
Mockingbirds moan
Wing tips singed
A spider clasps eight hands
Sirens pass over a graveyard
I hear a train’s midnight sonorous blast
Heading somewhere…anywhere
And I look up…terrified…relieved
As the sun burns a hole
Through the moon
