When Marilyn said
to Norma Jean:
"You have to go
out of your way
to save me",
she spoke
from a place beyond
all those years.
As cars rolled by,
the shut window's
distant mirror-eye,
they saw themselves,
in flashes, move about,
like faces
of sorrow and joy
changing places.
And the motel-sign said: vacant.
