Roadkill
by Guy Yasko
I
It's been there all week,
Nose tucked into tail
Comfort found between impact and asphalt
II
I'm still here
logged out, still here
Had it with the billboards
the check engine light
milemarkers...
Just want to crawl under my desk
sleep

As always, thank you Robert.
Brevity and economy of motion carry the weight in this power packed little piece. Vivid imagery that takes me right to those places. Really strong work Guy! *
