Road Apricot sunrise caught me under a green blanket. It enters as it will with no apology, no blame. If I take the road across the wolds, how long before the fields end and you begin? Is that the sea? I’ll never make that drive, nor you return to me. Laura Cherry Editor's note: The photograph shown is a placeholder image.
