Nashville was a
narrow road 
between cedars.
A stop and go.
A bluegrass jive.
The county twang
of a slide guitar.
A truck stop coffee.
The city boys
inhabiting, conquering,
embarrassing.
A big sore thumb. 
The radio
gospel sermon.
Torches throughout 
the Smokeys. 
Blood crosses
on doors. 
A grid plan
shared by a river.
The southern drawl
of menthol
in my nostrils.
