Car Hugs

Claudio Schwarz

Wheels stop, doors unlock –
Well, it was nice while it lasted –
Time to unbuckle and chuckle
As you both slightly lean over.

Always too long,
Always too short;
Awkward angle,
Perfect position.

A manner of punctuation,
A suitable signpost for the sentence
Although whether it’s a comma or a period
Is yet to be determined.

Final chance for repressed expressions
To make their way to the forefront
Before a restless night is spent
Wishing certain words were weaved.

Preview of coming attractions,
Recap of what already occurred
Between two fragile foragers
Searching for bread crumbs in the dark forest.
