28 February 2011 (Poem for Highway 12)

The farthest I've ever been out to sea or from home

involved being suspended meters above water on

a bridge that looked like a centipede

that had collapsed and been reconstructed

mere years before. I was listening to carefully

considered music (months of planning, thought-

experimenting, to find that one song to hear

as the ocean cleared the horizon) laughing

nervously through the construction zone (whistling

through the cemetery)

and holding Brittany's hand when in the home

stretch.

Then we were there.
