at the intersection of Allapattah Rd and Martin Hwy
you’re far enough from everything to finally breathe
just north of Indiantown where they travel by foot
most of them, its the only way to get place to place
and you’re east of Okeechobee and west of the ocean
room here for panthers and deer, killers and prey
enough time to pause at the intersection for a peek
of what sunlight looks like on undeveloped land
with the radio off and the windows down
the humidity still bearable this last day of April
i heard every sound within miles of myself
took a long pure breath
and drove away
