For some time <now
I've harbored dreams
of running off
to write poetry
with some small
bright
dark haired woman
to a town that has no name
where she can teach school
and I might maintain
a dusty roadside motel
But what I really want
is for her to find
the answer
to her doubt
and to give her the chance
to uncover her smile
and for her to play a part
in what becomes
my turnaround
