Richard Robbins

He kept driving, the storefronts a shoulder-to-shoulder forest he couldn’t

see around.

All those miles down the boulevard, numbers counting down by twos.

And the field opening where the buildings end, and light settling¹ over the

lengthening eye.

And wind across the tops of bluestem and the lives of insects.

And all animals in the grass, even birds, moving in their own ways under

the sun.

And on the horizon², something like his shadow walking, something small

as a daytime star against the blue moving up and down over the far

line of earth.
