The Way Back Home

You skillfully capture the way it feels. Nice work. *

I'm a music junkie, Michael -

from The List.

Good piece. Favorite lines:
"the endless midwest landscape
swallowed up by prairie and sky
a spool unreeling, a banner unfurling
time and space unwinding"

*

Builds to a very strong finish.

Damn fine piece of poetry. Nothing to say but a nod of the head. Went back and read it over four or five times just to hear the words. Beautiful, evocative.*

And we are there now, too. *

I know this landscape well. I can feel the rush of wind and the passage of empty fields in these words.*

I can almost feel the repeating thud of that one tire which was out of balance, oh yeah. Words playing like a symphony of hot breath between the lines. *

"the endless midwest landscape"
Exactly.

Let's play chess, Michael, the next time our paths cross!

I appreciate how there is just a hint of the relationship between the speaker and the addressee.
