lyrics

Alabama 50

The winding back road is swathed
in pine-tree-smoke.
I stop near a couple in camo
who swear it’s under control
as the flames spread wide and high.
Not wanting to argue a point,
I turn back to my car and the road,
when the man says, you know,
it’s all a big hoax,
and his wife laughs at the joke,
and he hums Dixie,
and she Christ-proclaims.
I take my leave
as a white pine bursts to flame.
