highway 95 revisited

banished from vegas
north into exile, blank planet
rising curves and their deceptions
ridges rise, retreat, rise yet higher
subtle eye level trick of horizon
a brothel every sixty miles
bare curves and sweeps
rock is breathing, rise and fall
at bonnie claire, four thousand feet
truckers gear down, faint shift and whine
you can see the junction, crawling boxes
turn off, to parchments of unspoken
unfinished canvas of terra
the joy of a new road
slopes rise, trivially
reference simply rotates
the crawling boxes recede
ridges flow in lustrous waves
no sound or scale, only space
joshua trees with arms raised
to a thin blue sky
north into exile, blank planet
rising curves and their deceptions
ridges rise, retreat, rise yet higher
subtle eye level trick of horizon
a brothel every sixty miles
bare curves and sweeps
rock is breathing, rise and fall
at bonnie claire, four thousand feet
truckers gear down, faint shift and whine
you can see the junction, crawling boxes
turn off, to parchments of unspoken
unfinished canvas of terra
the joy of a new road
slopes rise, trivially
reference simply rotates
the crawling boxes recede
ridges flow in lustrous waves
no sound or scale, only space
joshua trees with arms raised
to a thin blue sky
