*by Annabella Dlugi*

Did you hear bluegrass in your mind?  
Mad mandolin plays on  
Or was it the scent of gasoline from the gas station  
That made you dance in the dark after hours?

And when the dance turned into love  
Did you think about your home?  
Were the streets of Milwaukee just shadows  
A prelude to the song of the storm?  
  
Was I destined to be Midwestern?  
Or just a product of the blue  
Like an unexpected uproar  
From the wilderness in you.
