resting my head against the window
listening to the whir of the car engine
and the radio
my brother and sister on the car seat next to me
my mother and father sitting silently
on our way home from grandma's house
streetlights light the way home
i close my eyes
and it feels like i am flying
the car moves smoothly over uneven pavement
wavelike in its motion
i open my eyes to see
the moon... watching me
we play peek-a-boo through the tops of trees
the moon and me
the brightest light in the deep night sky
racing home with me

we play peek-a-boo through the tops of trees

the brightest light in the deep night sky
racing home with me
