on the road

Uncategorized 1 Minute

written for dVerse – Quadrille Monday “Gasp”

the grey ute 
bares a bumper sticker grin
“no air bags -
we die like real men”

from the driver’s window
tiny glowing cinders
dice with whitewashed air
a gasp of turbulence

yellow grass snaps its flags
we hold our breath
for fire season

We all walk in the dark. But if we hold hands, perhaps the dark won't be as scary.
