I drove them through the mountains
the winding roads
in clouds washed screens
could hardly see the road ahead

so watched the rear view mirror clean
they were entwined
like a serpent and a bottle of wine..
corked up then their hands,
drove
it was slightly cold I switched on the heat
they warmed up smiled
so it seemed...

thank you
could he have heard through the darkened glass
such awakening and in my nerves a striking lightening

I stepped on the gas
as they did on their back then all I heard was a crash
I was in bed in hospital unheard unseen
where had the two gone
not even heaven knows
one buried
another married
to the dead in person

none knows the plight of the two lovers
in the coldness of the wilderness,
wrapped up and caught into a permanent delirium,

where was I
Oh come on
now it’s commonsense.
