a child's hand
outside the car window
to touch
the first summer rain ...
bumper to bumper to Exit
Added:
a midnight moon
glints in the skylight
turning once more
I listen to her breathing
as the night stretches on
Added:
packing
and unpacking my suitcases
for three hours —
this life without my love
yet still within my love
Added:
we all move on
then the story carries us —
still I stand still
at the bend of her street
hearing her door close
Added:
home from vacation
it takes three moonless nights
for my heart and mind
to adjust to living
in a room of my echoes
