Reclamation
I have memories attached
to curves in the
road, moments encapsulated by
long strentches of highway. They
return briefly to existence as
I travel them;
anxiety trembling in
my fingers around that bend,
annoyance tempered across
my brow at the next.
Blinding laughter of
the young and jubilant and
reckless. I have poured my
heart out in these
yellow lines.
On the road is where you'll
find me, reclaiming a lifetime
of memories printed in
trees and sky and
sun, and miles of
open, endless
road.
