Driving down the highway
at two a.m.
I felt my heart stop
When I looked over and saw
Pale yellow
So round and full
Sensuous and curvy
My lungs gasped
in awe
As she stayed by
my side
And a peace washed over
My troubled
soul
She dipped into a silky black
lake
And dried herself out
among
the stars
Shimmering her pale yellowed
glory
And dripping it all
over me
I understood why
The ocean waves crashed
for her
Because on that lonely highway
I crashed for her too.
