Car wash

car wash

i used to watch raindrops roll down the glass window from

the backseat. toes curled up squeaking mice against rubber booster seat

seeing, by-standing, sinful peace in 

finger-tracing

tears of heaven fleeing like Daphne from the sun’s sixteen 

flares. conjoin, bleeding, blessed blemish always

not knowing parallel lines exist

therefore, unbeknownst 

must always conjoin and bleed and blemish
