we drive and drive,
we drive and drive -
we go to the places
where the memories
have crusted over
in the well of this house
we visit you, swept away
in the yellowing of the walls -
trace a voice lynching sound
in the fissure near the front door,
walk slow and catch the carpet cracking ironies,
clunk, the snaking stagger of your wrinkles
stealing along cabinets, like spies,
so many roads,
we drive and drive,
i am you, but not you,
we are here together,
but a long time ago,
and your words
are smuttering
away in little
soup-streams;
i came to whisper to you
to push the eaves
away,
