Desert Highway Reprieve
Desert Highway Reprieve
The desert highway stretches like my past - long, cracked, and unforgiving. Windows down, radio crackling, my voice breaks loose with Morrison's ghost.
"When you're strange..."
I sing it like confession, like the words could scrub my skin clean of all the errors I've catalogued and carry in my bones.
"Faces come out of the rain..."
The thunderhead chases our taillights, my regrets condensing in its dark belly. But for this moment—just this stretch of road— I am nothing but a voice joining the dead singer's choir.
How strange to find forgiveness in a song about estrangement. How strange to feel clean when dust devils dance alongside us.
The wipers keep time with the chorus as we outrun the storm, my history temporarily washed away in this four-minute baptism.
I will wear my regret again tomorrow, but today, speeding through nowhere, I am strange enough to be forgiven, strange enough to deserve this mercy.
"When you're straaannge..."
Note: I love Jim Morrison, he was an icon.
