The Journeyman Nods His Head

Highway 30


At two in the morning, when the moon
has driven away,
leaving the faint twilight of one star
at the horizon, a light
like moonlight leaks
from broken crates that lie fallen
along the highway, becoming
motels, all-night cafes, and bus stations
with greenhouse windows,
where lone women sit like overturned flowerpots,
crushing the soft, gray petals of old coats.
