Blues Poem #24

Kurt Philip Behm

Boxcar Blues

 

John Lee, Wolf,

and Muddy knew

the rails could

set you free

Direction

but an afterthought

when tracks

forever lead

To where the music

calls your name

in box cars

down the line

With darkened Angels

heading home

deliverance

— there to find

 

(Kingston Mines Chicago: January, 1996)
