Lonesome Road

 Lonesome road

beneath city lights

past urban mysteries

through rural plights

I  need to drive

all alone

radio full blast

just music and the road

Pack my roots

in the back

leave behind

Boo Radley’s shack

and baggage under

a moon gone black

Every name can’t

stay lost

I’ll remember

whatever the cost

But I will drive

in any direction

fast as I want

staving off reflection

for now.
