Closer
by
Kathryn Stripling Byer
|
|
old road dreaming me back home
through coastal plain into the Gulf
stunted pines along the roadside
dripping with dark into night puddles
arcade of pecan trees into infinity
through which my memory roams
like spider webs over wounds
these bare branches over my eyes
maybe souls do flow into and out of the world--
that crow over corn stubble, scythe of light
off the truck's chrome, swish of an icy
mare's tail over the December sky
