Oh to California

Mom's voice like peach fuzz

Memories on blankets of soft white silk fluttering in the warm wind-
rippling back to me with the tide.

Dad's strong hands, rough and tired from hours on the stearing wheel. Reaching from behind the seat. Finding my soft pink hands.

I see his broad smile and glimmering eyes in the rear view mirror.

Love

A slow drive down south to California.

Asleep on the bumpy road with their murmurs and low laughter lulling me to dream.
