whisper your devotional boulevards
then the convoy will carry you home
strangely that hymn penetrates my mind
whenever they sidestep our appointment
divided these streams call you mother
ready with our travel bags we scatter
farther than those racetracks will allow
three sleek raindrops trace through distant wings
advice you always see fit to give
thin among my fog heavy demands
if we could breathe within those fields again
you would still leave me the secretaries
laughter harsh seeds along these sodden paths
call even when you arrive there safely
my direct line crackles with the thought
hold me once more mists chant around you
revelation your strength as spattered days
spiral our blank clockworks into being
over my coffee break we examine
whether highways dynamic the lilacs
arriving your priority springtime
breeze yet our life alone these petals
sketch gently their sky patterns elusive
symphonies swell just beyond those branches
from the bleachers we can almost touch them
