on the open plain
I looked in the rear view mirror
at the spread of late summer disappearing
checked my speed
no hurry.
ahead an unknown season
with promises dawning
horizons sensed
too real for a dream
she would be waiting
off the greyhound
at Galveston
with sculpted hips
small hands
a feast of inward delights
my speed increased
but the hills spread out
shrugged their shoulders
as I flicked out a camel
and ignored the past.
This poem, to me, reads as though it takes place in a dream despite the line which seems to say it is too real to be so. I have had some very realistic dreams though so perhaps that's just me. I enjoyed reading it, thanks.

I love the way that this character is leaving it all behind and thinking about what's to come. Nice one
