What Keeps Me in Indiana

Indiana winds exhale through fence slats on state road four
with force rough enough to scuff riding boots with bits of loose gravel.

Morning hair weaves nets of dirt dyed tangles,
snaring April’s supple weather
in wet whips smelling of lilac wax
and wood smoke.

Light brushes firm strokes from the East,
warm while I listen
to hooves drum fresh bruises into sod.
