100 Miles From Mexico

a hundred miles from mexico
me and my amigo, the coral orange moon.
dark so black poets don’t go ol' fateful, willin' who I am on a fateful
winding stretch of road
a hundred miles from mexico
the moon, the music, and me a hundred miles from mexico
backing down this highway, thumbing at the headlights
gravel shoulder, devil’s backbone
before the headlights become the dawn
me and my amigo will be gone
a hundred miles from mexico
the moon, the music, and me before the headlights become the dawn
me and my amigo will be gone
