Driving in the Dark
Coming back from Henderson
Alone,
you are surrounded
By towering peaks and deep ravines.
Driving in the dark,
So dark, only a small cone of illumination from headlights
reveals
a few gray bushes
Pale sands and rocks that
Flash by, pass by as the
car sweeps around the turns.
You are
In a small bubble of light
Surrounded by large and deep things
You can’t see.
