KALI OKA ROAD
Murky water swirling
Whiskey colored vortex
Macabre swamp oaks
Claw the slimy silt
Eerie green lights
Some say the ghosts of Chickasaw warriors
Haunt the sultry gloom
Bull frogs moan in harmony
Brilliant full moon
Illuminates a she gators burnt orange eyes
Cottonmouths deadly bed
Lurks just beneath the gentle wake
Red clay roads
Treacherous path to nowhere
Olive hued peat moss
Tricky quick sand ambush
Seeping sound of death
Rumors of headless nomads
Enchanted feral waifs
Deep forest trolls
My mind drifts to teenage curiosity
Cold Duck courage
Old friends I shall never forget
South Alabama mysteries
The legend lives on
Down fabled Kali Oka road
