Texas Highways X Poem by Armadillo Poet

Texas Highways X



A Cretaceous scene
Two raptors feast
On armored flesh

And today...
Vultures pull
Roadkill like pork

The armadillo,
Leper who burrows-
I've grown accustomed
To his sight only
As broken shield
Or burst drum

I should spend more time in the brush
Before Texas becomes this way to me
