Edges of asphalt
Solid yellow lines down the middle
Fenceposts on either side
Taunt wires between
Only this cross breaks that pattern:
a simple white blip
against the fence.
A red rectangle notes a name, some dates,
a message:
KILLED BY A DRUNK DRIVER.
But in the thirty four years since,
who’s bothered to read the sermon?
State Highway 349
Martin County, Texas
