the sunlight burns in our rear view mirror,
a canopy of flames following close behind
we say goodbye to the bittersweet glow,
our bodies exhausted from chasing
too many unending horizons,
brutal and beautiful and beckoning
nights and days blending together,
moonrise – twilight – ethereal dawn,
each one feeding into the next
like a record on repeat
the highway bends like wisteria vines
and we just drive,
this feeling in our chest pushing us on,
demanding that we
run
explore
escape
anything to remove this ache in our veins,
anything to feed the wild in our hearts
