The 60-Second Sabbath

Dirk deVries

Riding Home

I am a child.
I am in the backseat of my parent's pale-blue Plymouth.
I am rocked asleep
    with the drum of rain on the roof,
    with the rythmic slap of the wipers,
    with the certainty that fills warm spaces
        as they hurtle along night's wet highways.
