Infamous,

This was the stretch of road - its

Notoriety featuring

Hazard signs; its reputation

Speaking volumes.

.

                Highway 16

.

Benign,

It liaised between the princes,

From the city to the coast,

But it demarcated the barrier

Between civilization and the north.

.

The point of social-overlap,

The unofficial border,

An unnamed parallel

Carved between the cultures.

.

missing, murdered

.

Remorseless,

This was the stretch of road.

And until I saw the procession

Lamenting there in song -

Marching in regalia -

.

                I never would’ve known.
