On The Road to Beartooth Lake

My thoughts are deep
as coffee cups
and the fogged
breath of cedar
swamp looks still
at any speed
as the march of the traffic
barrel vigil hold
orange candles under
clouds of blue iron
shadows and ignore green
exit 249 as the black city
under yellow lines leaves
me with a feel that it moves
past me, not me past
it while I breath
the diesel from the truck
stop I can smell, but know
I will not find as I look
for a place to rest
the grey Chevy.
