THE AFTERLIFE

by Dan Campbell

It's a hundred degrees in the shade;

walls are splattered with graffiti

in a foreign tongue, a trio of blind

angels tap their crooked canes

down the dirt road, bony saints

roast parched corn on an open

fire in cardboard shacks and frowning

cherubs juggle cinders and cobs.

Then at last, the blare of a trumpet,

we think at first, but it's only the horn

of a rusty bus stacked with chickens and

iguanas in cages driving us forward

into a cloud of dust.

First published in VISIONS
