I.
I will always remember blazing across the state
following a course set by
I scorched
and shaved a full hour off my estimated time.
I’ve never needed a compass to find home,
but in the middle of the movement
You never realize how fast you’re going.
II.
The fireworks burst in slow motion
insistent on attention; she adverts her eyes
unblinking, I stare straight ahead.
III.
I walk the vacant streets after dark alone
summer in
a deep breath escapes pursed lips
it’s the first time in months for easy thoughtless breaths.
