she slowly took back her form in the passenger seat, windows down, where she belongs. she wears streetlight as her foundation, opposing traffic light plays well on her face. she’s stunning, loveliness in her own way, carrying something unmistakable, quiet calm and grace. she just has it: patience, love, discernment. longing for home, never for night. not twitching or vaping, not drunk or talking incessantly, not high or cranking the volume past normal. she is set for a night drive. stone cold grace. waiting to see her child, her home, her bed. happiness finds you in the sincerity of silence. never when searching for it in the freebie moments the devil temps us with. she even let me love you. and that is her grace. because of it, she owns me now, and my soul is forever bound to hers.
