Dad’s new 92 Acura
was born between the two of us
we turned into sons
and it turned into a time machine
and Dad’s asleep in the passenger’s
a mandolin string moon has come up
one last song of light
that turns into the two of us and
200 miles to Baltimore County
one for the driving, two for the dreaming
midnight in Baltimore County
one for the drive, one for the drive
Mom’s new red and white running shoes
a gentle little wolf pursues
we turn into hers
as she turns into the terminal
and Mom hugs her little passengers
the barred owl laughs we have from her
rings of summer rain she turned into the two of us and
200 miles to Baltimore County
one for the driving, two for the dreaming
midnight in Baltimore County
one for the drive, one for the night in
our old room, with the curtains dancing as they danced as every doorway shrank to half its size and we didn’t notice
one for the drive to our old school
left the headlights on the backboard
and missed and missed and made some
till the quiet when we pulled in and home was home again
