Relics


Hill and hollow and the road

between the two where deer

have sailed across my hood

and turkeys glide heavy

into the wet woods above

old tires and dumped

TVs sticking out

of the slope half buried

in leaves like forsaken moai

guarding Easter Island

where the living were turned

from their gods and old ways

and no one remembers

what it means or

how it all came to be.
