Driving in New Mexico



the terrain’s more expansive here 
you said, as if obscurities that had been,  
moved aside so the eye 
could soak in highways singing 
restless blues, as if language 
materialized straight from that feeling 
of nowhere coupled with too many 
places to be, and you can see 
what you want to, blanketing the spaces 
with clutter from your mind 
by accident like deja vu 

I keep turning mid-drive 
to stare at the unusual wedding 
of indifference and curiosity, 
your green eyes touching even 
further than the collective 
of what remains         enchantingly 
unspoken
