What Happened on the Denton Road
Eleven poems. One story. The first reading was at 49 West Coffeehouse, Annapolis, May, 2015.
From the fourth poem, The Denton Road
Fact is, the whole long road
whatever you want to call it
went on for miles and miles and miles
Fact is, the Denton Road was
swallowing up young girls
like it was some kind of monster
and the sad and sorrowful
part of all that
was nobody
for a long time
even noticed.
