should come as no surprise
to me since I fell
through the black hole of your eyes.
Only little things
inconsequential I could say
of all I left behind with you along the lost highway.
Silver earrings in Wichita,
beaded moccasins in Tonopah
but I had you so
I just let them go.
The flannel shirt I wore
to keep me from the cold
when we drove from Boston all the way to Buffalo.
The leather boots I bought
so many miles ago
I took them off to follow you
into the Ohio.
