Riding out (Day 1140)

No one believed we’d take our chance 

and wind up here so soon   riding out 

our longing   all evidence a passing cloud


can I redeem the part of me you left 

beside a highway   waist deep in prairie grasses

meaning to move   not knowing how


while you sought peace in your empty space

growing translucent over time   and 

never again will we last so long   and never —
