about Mildred Rose
For T.A.R.
RELATIVITY
Sometimes when I drive
down highways safe
beside you, the road
goes on and on
into forever
until, finally,
there is no leaving,
no arriving,
only time present,
here, now.
I am where
I have always been
with you and we are welded
into the landscape
(houses, cattle, prairie,
grass, sky, wheat fields,
sloughs and flowers)
flashing past our immobile car.
