The cars across the median
are glowing strings of pearls
moving slowly toward me
as I drive, for miles and miles
these glowing, floating lights;
the snow flitters to the ground
and I catch reflections in them
as if showered in sparks;
who could guess that this
was always waiting, beyond
the glass and wiper blades:
steel can turn invisible.

In the driveway my father
steers while I push the car,
and as the snow turns
from crunch to slickness;
the side lamp broadcasts
a rainbow across monochrome;
the red turn signal pulsing flames
against powder, sparkling
tiny thunderstorming crystals
dissolving into gray blue
oceans beneath these tires
spinning, spinning, spinning-
and no real honest way
to say this is a love poem.
