APPALACHIAN SONG


I want to be as insignificant
as the death of anonymous,

a small unnamed crater
on the invisible moon,

a footprint slowly filling with water
on a path that just peters out.

I heard an old soldier say
"We were lavish with blood in those days."

Lord, I'm so empty I could float.

(198?/2005)
