Kate Terrell, 2015

lyrics

Driving Memory

so I see a landscape tan in color
within whisps of grass
like hairs on a boar’s skin

wandering the country
available to drive
Emporia, Wichita, or Waverly goodbye

tunes from the radio
play reggae tip toes
from one fence post
to the next

keys in ionic fashion
stacks of notes latch on to words
and tip the scales upward
sorting tales of compassion

sun rays meet the grain rows
with low angled light
skimming right through
the foothills of Missouri
in these stanzas
except that we’re in Kansas

snow patches cloud batches
plateaus and rock wedges the land
your belief is so strong frozen pond
where cows don’t drink or stand

trees in lakes up to their ears
like Danielle on her walk
into the pool
their trunks disappear

curling trees split at the knees
burdened by snow’s weight
make cursive symbols
silhouette timbers
spelling and bound to navigate
