Turnip in the Still

In shadow wooden structures
stalled highway up staircases
to the top, the redwood scares me looking down.
Murders of the past, hidden in blue walls, lies,
bullet marks on the right side in plaster
confirm my belief that Jesus only works part time.
Let me look at this mirage
picture photo one more time
find the turnip in the still.
