TOWARD OTIS ROAD

Somewhere 
in another world
she is driving
through the thick
green trees
separating the leaf
from the stem
splitting 
the thick boughs
with the nose 
of her car 
carving tunnels
through old
resistant trunks
releasing their
ancient brown stories
into the wind 
that caresses the highway 
somewhere
in another world
she is moving forward
in swift transition 
between where she is 
now
and where she’s 
going to be.
