When it came time, I would leave the South
When it came time, I would leave the South,
trailing a Uhaul
behind my Cadillac
and driving west til the land ran out.
There’s something unnamable
at the point where all you see
is water ahead and what you’ve left
behind, your shadow so soon
to catch up with you
as the sun sinks finally down.
