Driving to the memorial

Driving to the memorial

Street sign says Special 

Event Prepare to Stop, Too

Late, put on heart brake

Musings

I don't want to say that Death is my muse.

Just a hitchhiker
along for the ride
swap a story or two
part ways

I picked her up
on the way to San Diego
Last September
Now we journey
Back to Bonners Ferry

Backgammon
Ripping paper
Morgue

Somewhere on her GPS is
East Pueblo Street
Via Crostini
Walk Circle

I’d like her to be dropped off
For at least a little while,
Give room for a new passenger

Maybe Hope
Needs a ride
