Texas Highways 4 Poem by Armadillo Poet

Texas Highways 4



Whereas the motive
Of a wave is resilient
Whether made of the sea,
Of men, or blades of grass

A leaf may be torn,
Burned, salted,
Or polluted

Starving the plant,
Wilting the flower,
Retracting the roots

If you look under your tire

Between rubber and gravel and oil and mud
You'll see the crushed germ
With a field behind you
