on the white bus


Some kinds
of aloneness
are required
or we'd all be
glued together.

Planted in our 
numbered seats
on the prison bus
headed for the border,
staring through
the window mesh
that hides us from
the sidewalk gaze.

Our shadows
in the vineyards
slowly fade,
but we'll be back
to wash the dishes.
