"Houses are full of things that gather dust..."
Jack Kerouac
Gathering no dust, it all fit into a 1999 Ford Tempo. A gypsy wagon is too slow and maps are for people who know where they're going. Warm wooden boxes filled with sweet trinkets and a potted plant in the passenger seat. The open road, a new life, awaits. We'll stop when we get there, even if we don't know where "there" is.
A cedar chest filled with brown-sugar and honeyed almonds, and a shimmering haze of apricot rising from the road in the direction of the sunset.
