found at sea

the 470 miles to denver
are a sea
of grass
and we've found ourselves alone
on the road
for much of the way
seemingly the last
people on earth
with a mostly cloudless
blue sky
pressing down
and i glance over and catch you
sleeping
thinking what a fucking
knockout you
are
in the beautiful harsh
unforgiving southwestern sun
with not a thing
to forgive
foot on the gas
getting it up to 80
(easy with this tailwind)
cruise control on
while in my peripheral vision
pronghorn antelope
run along fencelines
one mountain pass
five or so
more hours of prairie
and not a single storm
in the forecast
