They think its funny
that my bar nickname
is Doctor Death.

that Lady at the Itie

The Ghost Road
by Alan Catlin (New York)
Source: Death Angels (2004), p .2

half in jest--

road, every path,
every where

for body bags,
ghost patrols

embodied,
lost spirits
one and all.
Note: Death of Angels is a book of short stories with poems.
