Sunday Drive

[Brownlie]

Couldn't help thinking of one of those white roadside crosses you see, metal lace or wood or styrofoam, wreathed with plastic flowers, sometimes with a name, to show where someone bought the farm but wasn't planted.

Great images.

I see where you got that roadside memorial from, especially with the beer cans. I wasn't being quite that smart, but that's a cool way to look at it. Sort of like a don't drink and drive thing that way.

Hi - good imagery, though the fourth line made me reread - a little obscure to me. Or is it the grammar? I like the references that lean back to death, and the way I'm left in the 'wake'.

Lol, the fourth line was weird. The thought was it would be people turning trees into something romantic, with nature being an inchoate version of divinity like in a Wordsworth thing or something. 

Thanks for reading it.
