Stood in the middle of the road,
nowhere Kansas horizon kissed the cheek.
Arms splayed on some invisible crucifix,
head reclined to pondering skies.
Felt the burning caress of August heat,
crisping through the core.
Swaying in America’s kernel,
scouring for the center of me.
Miles ranged in the thousands,
salty breeze tickled lips.
Longing’s twin manifested,
emerald eyes across eternity’s sea.
Roasting in the expanse of the unsaid,
tears escape incarceration.
Dribbling slowly like a quavering babe,
boils to steam on the ravenous asphalt.
Sodium mist of the unrequited,
enshrouds youthful cardiac arrests.
Solitude parched these withering lives,
yearning in damp cheek memories.
