No Clouds

Rose Polenzani


dog won't bite,
I can get real close.
I don't know where he came from...
something I don't trust - 
the road
looks like his hide
thicket bright,
bone yellow.

I won't bite
(don't turn your back on me).
I won't say
(let me tell you
something I don't trust).
the road
peels like his coat
bloody road,
bone narrow.

no clouds,
I wanna drive
South
into the warm sun.

I'm no saint.
Tthis is what I say -
easy lay, that's my talent.
someplace I don't go,
the road 
runs through Texas,
dusty road,
you're endless.

no clouds,
I wanna drive
South
into the warm sun.

I'm a big dissapointment to you, I know.
what made you want to get to know me so well, boy?
what's done is done.
I thought I could take someone
into the same sun.
