　　Everything outside was in a rage of wind and sleet，
　　we were children， brothers， safe in the back seat，
　　for once not fighting， just listening， watching the storm.
　　Werent you afraid that something bad might happen?
　　Our father held the wheel with just two fingers
　　even though the car skidded and fishtailed
　　and the chains clanged raggedly over ice and asphalt.
　　Werent you afraid at all?
　　Dad sang for someone to fly him to the moon，
　　to let him play among the stars， while Mom
　　held up the lighter to another Marlboro.
　　But when the doctor started speaking. . .
　　The tip of the Marlboro was a bright red star.
　　Her lips pursed and she released a ring of Saturn，
　　which dissolved as we caught at it， as my dad sang Mars.
　　When you realized what the doctor was saying. . .
　　They were closer to the storm in the front seat.
　　The high beams， weak as steam against the walled swirling，
　　only illuminated what we couldnt see.










　　When he described it， the tumor in the brain and what it meant. . .
　　See， we were children. Then we werent. Or my brother wasnt.
　　He was driving now， he gripped the steering wheel
　　with both hands and stared hard at the panicked wipers.
　　What did you feel?
　　Just sleet， the slick road， the car going way too fast，
　　no brother beside me in the back seat， no singing father，
　　no mother， no ring of Saturn to catch at as it floats.
