Interstate 59N
O
n the freeway
north out of Alabama
the trees are leaning
into Spring
along the asphalt and concrete
tire treads are scattered
like some lovers’ clothing
discarded in haste
a shoe over there
a belt here
the car next to me
rolls over a shirt
they lead toward
the greening trees
the white-blossomed dogwoods
a perfect lovers’ retreat
