unstuck in time occurred to him
Yes conceded
his daughters songtheir
song
played
inside a gray Tacoma pickup stopped at a traffic light
her Toyota was red ’84
crossing in front of it he closed the book he was reading on
his finger
hard
hard
to read through tearedeyes
he couldnt make out the driver
a
woman
hidden
behind the reflection a slash of noonsun
saw her hand
a
colouredbeaded bracelet round her wrist
saw hanging from the rearview mirror
a small catgut dreamweaver
a spray of matching beads
a
single feather hung from it
twisting in the air from the open windows
as he passed he did
not glanceleft over his shoulder
if a wraith
he could not
bear to see
