platter flat
like a coffee table – round
red-river topography
and we drive along grid-like highway
gazing at distant orange sunset
a band of colour across the straight
straight far away knife edge
on the way back
in blackness
headlights light up broken highway lines
exposed to empty space
horizon a necklace of town and city lights
surrounding us with
a border of brightness under
satellites and stars
pilgrims on the plain flat beauty
surrounded by the lighted horizon of love
