Cold beer fills a chilled mug
The crackle of tobacco , the creak
of a rocker , the croon of crickets ,
Alabamas distant thunder* ...
Deer run in brown grass , water bugs strike
the porch light , cars hum along the distant highway ,
cicadas foretell the shroud of night ...
Clocks become amplified , ceiling fans -
tickle door chimes
Drab curtains brush plastered walls , dry
corn fields trill , crackle and moan
The final slurp of Michelob as -
someones trash crawls down a forgotten country road ...
The crackle of tobacco , the creak
of a rocker , the croon of crickets ,
Alabamas distant thunder* ...
Deer run in brown grass , water bugs strike
the porch light , cars hum along the distant highway ,
cicadas foretell the shroud of night ...
Clocks become amplified , ceiling fans -
tickle door chimes
Drab curtains brush plastered walls , dry
corn fields trill , crackle and moan
The final slurp of Michelob as -
someones trash crawls down a forgotten country road ...
