rain lily (nov eight)

Rain lily stop me in my tracks Voice my desire then walk it back I wish you could smell these flowers I wish you could feel the joy That I feel looking out At The night lawn punctuated by bursts of White petal light I'll pick a few Car cupholder bouquet Spruce up the travellin room That crash barely missed me Crossin all lanes I-35 Saw it all so quickly Interstate punctuated by bursts of Metal plastic rubber and glass in flight Pull over put on flashers see if they're alright And in some strange sort of way It was moving, all the care Displayed in the beet-red face of such precarity The kind neighbor prevails And Carries on Rain lily stop me on my tracks
