spaces inside her quiet still at rest on a lap give limb crease knee
hollow support of a neck (remember) there was wind sand dune
held grass stain backs her reflection skyward (you’d sing)
connect the light find north turn to face (yourself) hand mouth
(remember) cool lake air waded moonlit over rocks (you’d sing)
waves from the soles of her feet undertow (remember) long ride
home keep to (yourself) the road’s middle line (you’d sing) radio
turned off the exit ramp go north (remember) we drove the night
