I missed the exit
and the other exit
gathering the night
around me
the moon
the city lights
spilling out beyond
the interstate
I didn’t care
even as the road
narrowed into
farmland
loam unseen
but leaching
out its mineral
scent no stars
country dark
I had nowhere
and now have
nowhere to be
except with you
what other
destination
is there?
OPTIONAL POETRY
