Hitch Hiker at a Truck Stop

by Mary Crow

The hitch hiker asks to look at the palms of my cold hands and thanks me for unfolding them on the frost-edged picnic table between us. While I look at his downcast eyes trying to see if he sees, nearby truckers stare at his narrow face, long blond hair. He asks me if I garden, rips a scrap of newspaper and folds it up into a tiny origami package for anise seed. Here, he says, seed I gathered in Oregon, plant it in Colorado. I always have a garden, he adds, I plant and leave to others. He tells me he has no sex; when you ride in the righthand seat, you have to nod your head without listening. Face pressed to the window, he can see the lacquered edges of the earth. So I imagine him practicing calligraphy on truck windows, recommending honey and vinegar in a glass of water every morning. Mad, mad, mad. A yellow warbler, the moon at the bottom of the stream. Out on the highway he is raising his thumb again.

"A slash of Blue..."

by Emily Dickinson

A slash of Blue — A sweep of Gray — Some scarlet patches on the way, Compose an Evening Sky — A little purple — slipped between — Some Ruby Trousers hurried on — A Wave of Gold — A Bank of Day — This just makes out the Morning Sky.
