Diesel exhaust
the savor of it
and the rumble, low
of 18-wheelers at dusk.
A trucker's focused
on this single point:
the yellow light
swarming with gnats.
He hands the girl
behind the counter cash;
she remembers that
detail because no trucker hands her cash.
He's hauling gravel
in a trailer pocked with rust.
He won't be seen again --
this is his last run.
