Three drops of claret stand out against the faded grey wood
The aged and weathered pole supports the buzzing electrical lines
The drops could be roses
The drops could be blood
This is the Trail of Tears
The saddest place on earth
This is Highway 51 south in Clinton, Kentucky
This is Washington Street in Clinton, Kentucky
The three drops of claret on the weathered old pole
Serve to remind me of one important idea
History is written by those who survive it
