Driving to Vancouver

I set off tonight
for the family home
to be there
during those awful hours
where we wait to see
if she comes back
from across the river.
I'll pass through Steilacoom
I'll pass through Kent
I'll pass through Kelso/Longview
and hope that this and time
is all that will pass.

we are all ephemeral grains- but not alone, part of everything we'll sustain.
