I remember my breath making tiny clouds. My
hands mittened on the wheel. The crescent moon high up in the clear sky. I
remember the mudflats to the horizon, your laugh and your hand on my thigh. I
remember fog waiting doglike at the foot of the mountain. A doe we slowed down
for, her eyes redefining silver in the highbeams. The open window turning your
hair into a bird.
I remember you breaking the dashboard with your fists. My stillness. A hawk on a birch branch. The way the plastic pops back into place. I remember the black ice slide into the median and the twisted axel. A few spooky bits where trees rose up out of flooded, frozen fields. A few grains of snow piled up in corners. Road kill.
I remember saying I loved you, and later saying I didn't anymore. I remember the way the snow skating over the pavement made shapes that faded as we named them. I remember crying. I remember you crying. Our voice, fences in the darkness, and the riverbeds lined with a mess of broken ice.
