Call And Response: Day 47: Five

we drive East through the Central Valley
the hills undifferentiated save for beauty's
pale gold waiting for the first rains
of our green winter orchards
waiting for bulldozers to push
frail blossoms into lots for houses
no one wants to buy
moving South and East as fast as wings
then slow behind trucks carrying
fruit or secrets we could share
before we cross the Rio Grande
