Crossing
come eventide
a man crawls
on his belly
toward the Undiscovered Country
near this unforgiving border
no lilies bloom
no wagons wait
on the innocent
he closes his eyes
recounts his steps
to this barren place
this land of poison promises
in town, a woman kneels
crosses herself
downs both blood and body
and prays she has faith enough for two
