Driving Flashes

it was the deepest black one might imagine
punctuated with brief bright flashes
strobe light semi-colons spaced sentence length apart

driving alone the distance keeps us apart
ghost-like you appear and I imagine
your hand laced in mine then the image flashes

unseen hands scrawl words that stream from flashes
to blackboard-air piling up but apart
answering questions not yet imagined

i can’t imagine—
us truly apart
life without flashes
