a beautiful middle of nowhere

     pacify.
petals glimpse
through the pine-splattered bushes
rustling.
settle.
soil clumps
by the coarse rows of raw bark
drifting.
allay.
inchworms squint
at the honeysuckle sun
seeping.
becalm.
twigs loll
in an eternal siesta
sprawling.
appease.
nature uproots
as the country road carries distant wanderers
groaning in the solitary reserve of another world
just far enough.
