Summary: Every road they’ve ever driven.
The veil’s no place to settle, nor to knock heels together, pray the sparks to fly you-
Home, said Charlie, said Dorothy, Kevin, said every last soul that ever walked there.
*
There’s no place like it, the place that you’re from.
Sam dreamt of a yellow road, smiled at his own lack of creativity, but kept walking,
to heaven, Oz, Lebanon, Lawrence. Axis mundi. Every road they’ve ever driven.
Home.
*
Darkness is a roadblock made of wind.
Sam reverses, thinks: where are the dead--
and please, god, sets them down again in Bunker-dust;
the first things he sees are his shoes.
