she
takes the long way home
never completely lost-
because it’s autumn
and the light is doing that thing,
playing alchemist as it infuses all it touches with
gold
wishes on the falling leaves
like eyelashes, or stars,
knowing they won’t grant anything but
just wanting to pretend
it could be that easy
imagines what would happen
if there was someone in the passenger seat to
make confessions to
as the car meanders through town
