“Some Words for the Week”

All I need to remember

as I grow older

into fog and fading days

is us together in my car

driving home over dirt roads

from that bluegrass show

the windows down

letting in the summer night

you pressed against me

the stars a blur across the sky

messy guitar on the radio

racing home

so we could kiss in the couch
