Highways

The highways through Oklahoma
are bloated with dust and
the whispering sway of trees
at every turn
watch the pomegranate sun
bleeding out over the windshield
fog settling in smoky drifts
circling shades of light
sliding up and down the sleeping
in the rear-view mirror.

Every inch of road behind
stretches out,
denying history.
