quatrains



tour, july - august two thousand and nine

i drove the last some odd hours through
paradise and ypsilanti.
no cruise control, old after two
hours - en route to motor city.

eli and nate and chris and luke - 
asleep since we left milwaukee.
detroit welcomed us like a spook
living in an empty factory. 

guards greeted me with their flashlights.
day started to break and when salt
from sweat fared well to the last night
i fell asleep on the asphalt.
