i exit the loop road
your turn off on the left
two hands
on the wheel. we’re late
we’re always late and driving
straight along this sea. you ask
if there was no water
then where’d we be? dark hair
flat against the sky
even flatter than when i
first light
left you in eden on purpose
walked barefoot as the city
painted herself pink
husky desert creature
from earth
to a satellite flies the phrase
“i love you”.
my phonelight flashes while
we make omelettes in your kitchen
she makes omelettes
in your kitchen
i made
omelettes. you have grey hairs
not blonde? he asks. no,
not blonde,
that night
i drive home along the highway
and exit the loop road
turn off
on the left
