When we…

Everything was richly colored and deeply hued, unlike the drab grays of cement and muted reds of brick in Brooklyn. The jade greens of the palms and the azures of water were so lush and vivid, it made you squint. Even skin took on a different shade, warm and golden with pink high on the cheeks. People from florida where different. They spoke differently, their vowels long and their jaws loose,…

Every twenty minutes someone inside the car would ask the same question “Are we there yet?” Anticipating our arrival, I looked out the window of the car and saw nothing but a beautiful cloudless azure sky and the sun was shining bright like a diamond.

In a lonely passage connecting Dubuque to Bellevue, one specific spot shortly after a break in the trees, for one second, allows you to see 180 degrees in every direction. I anticipate it on my drive home and slow down slightly as I approach it.…
