             4 hands
    on the steering wheel


old wooden watchtower
   sun beating down
      on his guitar

 

 

hostess ding dong
in dad’s lunch box
child-size bite missing


       folded white paper
beneath the windshield wiper
            his goodbye

                back turned
paper airplane soaring
