Traveling with No Map

Fourteen days into it
found me studying
a wet
windy
West Virginia road
seeking directions
from
the flora along the way
swerving to miss
pockets of fog
that threatened
my resolve ...

What I found
on that sodden
spring morn
300 miles from home
     (instead of another laundered version of my great love)
was a smile that
starts with my
lips  
     (grown with such force)
pushing its way
into my eyes...

that can still be seen.
