I won’t have time to go over my route until I’m back in Reno, where I’ll spend a few nights at a friend’s before going the rest of the way home. Presently I’m in Frisco, CO. I hope to be in the Grand Junction area before nightfall. Thought I’d sit down with a bagel sandwich and dedicate a few brain cells to the task of tapping up a small poem, see what happens.
Open Road
Your contours lead my thoughts
like slender fingers parting
slightly cracked lips
for a sigh
Your peaks and valleys invite
my earnest exploration
teasing the deepest pits
of my stomach
I’ll never tire of your curves
your long smooth stretches
your heated breath
against my cheeks
