Dixie Valley Road

A green and white sign marks
the road north through Dixie Valley,
it starts out paved, reduces to gravel

then a dirt track along a section fence,
it regains gravel in the switchbacks
over the pass, than back to asphalt,

and sneaks into the back side of Winnemucca.
I'm not that road, I start out dirt,
end up dirt, it's the middle part,

the switchbacks, that are paved,
decorated with paint stripes and road signs,
it's the switchbacks that sneak into the back side.
