March


March


by CL Bledsoe


March is the Wednesday of months, full of shopping
and waiting, highways made of turn signals,
something over the hills is drawing eyes like a field fire.

Soon, there'll be movies to comfort us. Soon,
we can sit in darkness with muffled coughing,
watch lives flash across a screen made from sheets,
not wishing they were ours, only,
that they'd move a little faster
towards somewhere we hadn't seen coming
halfway through.
