kentucky home

in the fading sunshine,
      feeling wild of mind,
a detroit born girl
      rides down country          roads
      in a red
thunderbird.

early summer teases
flower      scented     breezes,
the temperature a mild
70 degrees.                      finally…

the detroit girl     

can breathe.

ahhh…            yes, please.

the sun warms red barns,
behind miles     and      miles
        of white fenced horse farms
where lazy cows roam,

she decides
                                                  to put
                     the rag top down.
             and     leave the gps alone

cruising through
         back country roads,
no particular
place to go,                finally…      I know:

                           this detroit born girl
             a wanderer not lost,

    has made kentucky home.
