towards end of day / i can see

towards end of day
i can see
a shaft of sunlight
across the field
illuminates
the tops of reeds
and a light pole
straight and bright

farther back
in the landscape
rows of cars drive
towards
the edge of light
like the pole
signifies a barrier

past is death

but they drive on to it
cars drive past it
they don't know
don't know
live or dead
they don't know
