I don't say your name. Out here names dissolve. The road keeps it better than my mouth ever could. Dust on my shoes. Light going low. I learned to walk without asking signs. Miles take something back. I let it pass. I carry what's mine. I leave the rest. I don't turn around. I don't need to guess. This land knows me better than you did. It never asked me to explain it. There's a place I pass when I'm tired. Nothing happens there. That's why it stays. The road stays. I don't.
