Eighteen
Massacred blood on a blue horizon
Roadkill shows like cherubs
In my floodlights
Another highway, another state
Cigarette burns me
I wake with a start
Eighteen wheels a rollin'
Rollin' over my heart
Smokey's in my rear view mirror
Nowhere to go except forward
Kessler warmed abdomen
No feeling, only crucifixion
Eighteen wheels a rollin'
Rollin' over my heart
Cat steel-toe heavy on the pedal
Tire iron in my hand
Blood clotted scarred emotion
Hand axe redecoration
Regurgitated cattle cranium
Asleep in bile
Nurtured by mother
Face down while babies lay asleep
Never make a sound
demolished rig
Eighteen wheels a rollin'
Rollin' over my heart
