ROAD TO NOWHERE

Hyphens on black tar
Dissect perspectives.
Going nowhere on a
Pitch black highway.
Fever induced dreams of
Blurred peripheral glimpses.
Jet black carrion appear as
Oblique strokes that slide by on
Swollen grey shapes roadside
Asking a macropod question.
Rusted farm post boxes
Deliver an exclamation
Dotting the landscape.
Betwixt uncoiled devil’s rope
Drawing boundaries
Pernicious blackened stumps
Backslash derived from wildfire.
Rust borne railway lines
Dash to nowhere
A vague decayed link
Golden wattles egregious
Weighted by pollen asterisks
Void of bees, drifts to dust
Clutched by charcoal edged fingers
A faded sign mutely asks
Stay @ the best motel?
Ellipsis town
There is no full stop.
