she frequented the truckstop often



 at 47 she took her last long breth

when 8teen bullets in ther wrath

left her hands still nd cold

that winters day 

found by a hiway worker

near the intrstate offramp 

white deer pensylvnia

jeans and purple shirt 

black leather jackt no socks 

no shoes 


once been a fashion model

in new york

finalist for miss manhattan  

and americas miss lady liberty

playd the violin 

youngest of five

never did marry

but

estranged from hr family for years


had mis demeanor offenses in arizona vrginia  

met mr rollins at a truckstop in conecticut in decembr

he thot her name was leslie

went trucking cross country 


police found a note in her pocket 

with rollins name

who done her wrong


in her pink purse

left unnoticd

the stars she shopliftd

from the night sky

the murmur of crows 

nd her faded refrain

once i was a daughter

called rebecca
