The casual trills of home

Unfold in unison

Streaming from the windows

Toward a highway’s drone

–

The outer world gives back

Flooding out the hollow spaces

Of an aimless mind

With sprawling visions and verses

–

Scrawling over the anguish

Of childhood scars

Carved deep into the marrow

New oaths take form  

–

Transformed by the gale  

Of the world’s wild chorus

Returned to the brag

Of the pulse underneath
