PAD 04/25/10

Day 25 of the Poem a Day Challenge.  Prompt:  a song.

T-Bone Blues

My whole body was soaked
I ached from the cold
walking back from White Gate

Cemetery where the dead of
the West Virginia State
Penitentiary are buried

Every truck and car that
passed sprayed me
with dirty rain

No one stopped
I remembered T-Bone singing
do you ever think of me?

That night, under the moon
the lonesome sound of trains
