Our eight-spoked wagon wheel,
a caravan of gypsies,
rolls, grining, forth.
Beyond Texas horizons our dreams lie,
dilated as bright eyes,
beyond fresh good-byes.
We will busk from the tops of trees,
eat from charred cans,
make love in the dark.
'Till the carrion birds cry,
the roads turn to dust,
and we lie, a smoldering ruin.
Still a smile on every face.
-- Evan Williams
