posting in ghost towns



i drive many hours
through ghost towns, abandoned
poetry groups, planting words
with pants and images
with wings to flutter
inside hearts like butterflies

decorating the walls
hosts have left behind
for guests passing
through zombie towns to post
their songs; but the brainless
seldom see music

leaving me to dance alone
with not even a single applause
testing my inner mettle
to roam the towns
bereft of taste and depth
of rational, observable substance
