the bend in the road 

it’s a question mark, really
,
a hook 
a crook 
pulling us off stage and into



the next phase. it’s a dusty

untrusted 
rusted muffler 
of a song, a torn page. it’s 

the rearview mirror skewed

things closer 
close-her  
than they appear. it’s here 



and there and back again

map veins 
free reins 
under your skin. it’s true 


north and all points south

by far 
by stars 
and the blues we leave behind.

In April, we poem.
