Bend in the road
You are
Taller now than us
Bend in the road
She marvels at how quickly the years have passed, almost imperceptibly, like thhe
“green creeper” that now covers the house
Bend in the road
Never
Long absent from thought
Bend in the road
Softly packed like the air
Is all that went on in those years
Bend in the road
This is the place of their presence :
In the tree, in the air
The Bend in the road
This is the place
Where the child felt sick in the car
