Inches from Paradise
by Carolyn Hall (California)
& Billie Wilson (Alaska)
radio love song
we drive closer
to the moon
roadtrip map—
mere inches from Paradise
finding a quarter
in the candy store doorway—
this azure sky
bluegrass meadows
the long-shot pony
noses ahead
Advent calendar
sneaking a peek
the new year
just seconds away
our first kiss!
