Mileposts
Mileposts? I let out a guttural laugh at a
fancy that often jerks me with numbing
pain – almost a scab that surfaces and
ebbs with an antidote.
Mileposts look so similar, also sinister
as if it is a shadow one chases with
nose buried in the sand.
When the winding path leads to a post

Is the unexpressed friendly
gift of a query.
What they did’nt fathom
was the stream of thought
inside ……”here is Nature’s
unrequited booty…. without
a price tag; A bemused spectator
