On the Bus

by Paul David

We ride the midday sun
with eyes that stare into
forever
past tangled knots
of ancient southern pines
sublime
Up Ninety-Five we shine
On
  Up
    In
      Through
Caroline
Fragrant green perfume
seduces
ears tickle whispered
forgotton forest muses
dappled sunlight jewels
across
forgotten paths
and remembered dreams
morning mist
shrouds fae circle and
joyous stream
On
  Up
    In
      Through
Caroline
Who knew what
and where
  and when
    and why?
the minutes measure of—

we die
The dryads sing
On
  Up
    In
      Through
CarolineThe End
