less Taken by Anshuma Sharma.

There’s more of her here,
between these yellow lines.

Stitched together by pit stop
Slurpee and old 80’s tunes,
she swallows the sun and
woos the moon
to follow her
all these rattled
miles.

Map long lost, she’s tossed
caution and suitcase contents
to the wind, closed her eyes, smiled,
and let her sighing
fingers choose where
to begin.
