With the Birds I Share

Alone in my head
Driving to the
Passing through of
Thoughts and feelings
Of you
Again

In the mental aftermath
Of our combined
emotional wrath
Understanding eludes me

On the morning drive down
Waldrick Road to
Old Highway 99
I am left with too much time
And space and open road
For thinking and feeling
You
Again

Your presence dominates my
Memory
Where the road meets
An abrupt end

Transported back
To the present
Your absence is as
Gaping
As the endless road
That still
Lies ahead
