Wyoming
I woke up with him at the wheel,
not sure what time it was
but the sun was rising. . . .
Two states now behind us left unharmed.
The last state line slipped away
like sand through my fingers.
We didn't speak a word for at least an hour,
but let the wind do the talking
through the cracked rear window.
It was profound like he could be sometimes.
It was beautiful like he could be sometimes.
I know we had a destination when we started
but now I'm not so sure, still . . .
nothing seems to stop simply to accommodate
my uncertainty.
We should be in Wyoming soon.
