For Liz on the Road.

You are lovely in all of your
wilting and waiting
the banjo wails tales
of your trail

pulling me fast to the tracks
of your steel-toned
and toeing these stones
like the boughs.

Sing sweetly the summer
a slumbering under
broke branches
and fixating sun

I've a tune in my hand
with your ink in my wailing
old river
to carry me down.
