Interstate Chatter

Weary from the long

night’s drive

through Kansas

in a convoy

hammering

down I-70,

I am anxious

this morning

to measure the miles

east without storm

clouds chasing

my shadow

as my mind returns

to the silence

of uneasy dreams,

returns to fleeting

moments

in other places

where whispers

aren’t heard.
