Driving the Highway South: Prose


Driving the Highway South

By Armando Ortiz

Eight thousand miles and the coffee cup is cold, 

a constant  swish of passing cars cycle through the road, 

nights are longer, and cling on to me ever more

blowing winds from Michigan have been stalking.


Green pastures have turned dirty gold,

dawn and nightfall stay longer than the midday sun

the last crescent moon the Autumn shimmers 

slowly rising on the eternal apricot horizon.
