I ended up on
A West Bound
Highway,
Listening
To Stevie Nicks
With as few clothes on
As I could
Legally
Wear
Out in public.
And Kingston Springs
Caught me.
Had it not,
I would have been
A
Bold Shot
Into an
Oklahoma sunset.
And that sunset?
I think it was
A secret
Between
The God
I went to see
A little bit
Too late
And I.
The Cerulean
And Tangerine
Melded
Like watercolor:
Hung itself
Above
The
Dark
Shadows
Of a cool earth--
Of a cool
Red
Earth.
And God read "Goodnight Moon"
To His children.
And He
Nestled me in a crescent
That was
Illuminated
With specs of
Silver
And white
To guide you home with
On a
Night
Like this.
And
I was guided home too,
Too
Far
To Home:
I swear I could have made it by morning
If I'd
Tried.
