her thoughts in the garage in the trunk of the car a spare tire and roadside flares she returns to the present moment as the water slowly comes to boil soon she will be on the road to see her father descending into dementia slowly bit by bit and the light goes out the bulb has burned out so in the dim morning glow she pours the water over the grounds coffee collects drip by drip the snow softly gently falling piling up her mind in the trunk of the car a spare tire and roadside flares
