Traveling Ancient Roads Poem by Stephen Parker

Traveling Ancient Roads



Foraging through time's annals
Peering through the faded panels
Catching a glint through corroded channels
Seeking the sallowing bridges to re-enamel
Shuffling along desert lanes beaten down by Assyrian chariot trains
Walking subsumed Royal Persian road, linking cultural chains
Striding through exhumed Alexandrian cities' ethnocentric strains
Strolling pebbled Roman boulevards accentuated by aqueduct drains
Riding the Mongolian steppes
listening to the murderous refrains
Traipsing through gold-crowned Otoman mosques sprouting Christian veins
Lumbering penitently along Via Dolorosa grasping sacrificial blood stains
