Rock Meets Bone

My heart left home…

I was bad, bare, alone…

I found myself there

Where rock meets bone.

I went out on the road

With another load, hoping

Never to be known….I

Couldn’t forget, but I could

Try not to remember.

Truck stops, steaks and chops,

Stares and  trash talk, wading

Through just to keep going, trying

To see where rock meets bone.
