Late Night Driving || Rachael Hill

by Rachael Hill

Heavy quiet of the deep night

hangs around me, do not disturb;

I ease the wheels over the kerb,

gently push into the streetlight’s

glow, and go; fast wheels, cold hands tight

against the steering wheel, I feel

like a stolen moment, unreal

like a blurred dream, and dark scatters

making patterns with the splatters

of my headlights; I grip the wheel.
