I (Free verse) by D. $ Fontera
Flagging down taxies on a country road
Every breath frozen by winter
Every step farther from my destination
Mangled fences wink at me
With too many eyes
Oh how naked I feel
Beneath this plastic raincoat
I have no fare but generosity is rewarding
To some it is worth their time
None tonight
Have much to spare
Right now
All I have is desperation
And sometimes that's enough
To get by on
The road is raw and
The sky is glaring
So why must I frost my cheeks with tears?
