along the highway, soledad between here & forever a poplar tree in evening wind sways, leaves dancing with questions turning light, dark, this way, that, asking in the tawny grass: lay beside me, gold & red til the headlights go to sleep, in soledad.
globe of glass, among the others, shining, touched with gold & red among the dark evergreen branches in silver rivers of a girl’s hair. you know how our faces swim there as they did when we were kids in the soft roundness of the light leaping, calling hey mom, dad, i’m soledad.
hold me close in all our moments that vanish in a gust, come back in other breaths, other eyes, as you sway in the evening wind. kiss me in showers of poplar leaves turning light, dark, this way, that, asking where do we go from here as you rise & ache with yes’s of soledad.
