 A girl puts her head on a boy's shoulder; they are driving west.

The windshield wipers wipe, homesickness one way, wanderlust the other, back and forth.

This happened to your father and to you, Galway—sick to stay, longing to come up against the ends of the earth, and climb over.

- from Galway Kinnell, Sheffield Ghazal 4: Driving West
