Interstate Eighteen

Paint me sunsets with

Right-handed brush strokes,

Across the canvas of

South Carolina skies.

A mere spectator from

My passengerside window,

I am admitted to this rare display

Free of charge.

As Maternal Daylight yawns wearily.

Gold joins hands with Crimson

And Lavender hues.

Twirling each other in circles,

They ring-around-the-rosey

On the horizon until

Paternal Twilight tucks them

In under a blanket of stars.

(For Rachel and Ronald)
