the exit signs line the highway.
from the dark, one floats shining.
passing over the lamp, i hear the film whirring.
phantoms between the frames playing back in silence.
from the tablelands of my father’s clan, passing through the darkness, driving through my past.
the ghosts of friends, the ghost of myself,
ghosts of gardens younger hands tilled.
like the flicker of the guardrail passing,
what i’ve known is sliding past me.
from the tablelands of my father’s clan, passing through the darkness, driving through my past.
farmlands on the hill rise above the swamp and there are mountain trails above the hospital.
