On the Road

Each of them on a ledge
be backed up, edge to edge

and the elbows
held into the chests

and slowly the breathing
and the bellows of their lungs

quiver. And I too, quiver
in breathing


Following the road goes
wherever the road does

and easing around that corner
together I would beseech her

and think of bellowing but
would not bellow, for know what

doesn't bend, neither grows; so—
So.
