rabbit where are you?
Jun. 21st, 2006 05:02 pmshe sinks into the road, into the plush of now
windows down
pushing back at the air
each finger spread wide
growing freckles mile after mile
there is missing and becoming
the pavement is slowly letting her go
the first few ionized drops of rain
mingle with the lawn he mows
one year has made the difference
has found the tortoise's shell
has moved in it and liked it
her breath like a fingerprint after all
her lungs full again
exhaling
she has a place for all of it
the Oklahoma sky
the endless roads of Wisconsin
Florida's friendly fire
back from wonderland
back from headlight mistresses and
weeks of heat
she feels the tingle of fingers capping with cold
with the caress of 60 miles per hour
and knows it will be over soon
