singing weary and valiant
treks with a bag of fragility
speaks phrases adamant
that fail to echo futility

the shaky shoulders are perceptible
they bear the burden of life's lairs
where strong and broad fail susceptible
to the roads' relentless affairs

that brittle crystal is uncanny
found in the freshest road springs
they nourish the soil and carry
a quilt with stories as seams
