the raggedy man blew into town
his shadow posse, following close;
the dusty whirls went quiet when
the reapers came to take us then
the chaparral was dry as dust -
tinder waiting to ignite;
the ground baked brittle by the sun
cracked under the boots of the hollow men
no one knew who was to die;
only that it would be more
than what is taken in a year -
that’s why the reaper men were here
they set up digs on the verge of town,
a crumbling store with a bone thin porch
a presence setting the town on edge -
like a jumper pondering the ledge
dying isn’t the hardest part -
the waiting, that’s the living hell
for when buzzards start circling high
the living know that death is nigh
time has past but they’re still here,
the raggedy man and his dead eyed crew
patiently waiting under the sun -
preparing to reap the chosen ones.
