More in Poems In The Basement

04. the death of may

we drove through may.
we were always driving.

In Tennessee we stopped
needing more gas

you paid while I
spoke lightly of marriage

you scoffed

and we kept driving
as if the death of may
followed us.

I don't feel like the repeated phrase that closes the poem is strong enough to be the close, and it's not strong enough to stand the repetition.  Some details like the smell of fish on the hands are strong, but the poem as a whole doesn't measure up.
