Description
I had never known the dolor of car seats
or macadam’d roads with morning breaking
until now.  I drove to the airport.  You slept
beside me, sometimes dreaming, sometimes waking.
I was afraid to dream as our first sunrise
woke unseen behind us.  I kept my eyes on the highway,
let myself guilty glances of you.  Longed to kiss
your neck again, and linger another day
in your kindness.  I was lost when I left.
I was a thought as I walked alone
into the airport.  Your eyes were gone.  Again the rift
of maps and telephones overcame us.  And you drove home.

But we are more than today, sweet friend.
While time has stolen us, we will not end.
