On the road with Ava

I wonder why our paths crossed so unusually,
at Weed truck stop
You and your dog--queens of the road
Yet, you do not know why you go
And when will you stop running away?
Away from your past, even your future--
you live in the now
the back of a truck,
rushing along the rails between steel walls at distance speeds,
the dewy wet fields of green your made-up bed.

I hope, one day, you will find what you're looking for.

Those are some really cool reflections of what you saw in her. Thanks for sharing your poetry! May she indeed one day find what she is looking for.
