Dead River Road

Fränz Müller

Skeletons swim

along Dead River Road,

those muddy banks

are their dark abode.

Fleshless jaws

do jibber and howl

and curse the grace

of a lonesome owl

who, watching, waiting spies

a bony feast with fleshless eyes

and swoops, and strikes

the burbling muck

and gets dragged down

when t’lost its luck.
