| Daddy Harold, 45, a Harley stained maroon crosses the four-way light. | A son, on a smaller bike, too trusting in his father to look both ways. |
| The shed, where crumpled metal sits in silence and in prayer. | The unmistakable brown of the Mississippi, where I sit on the back with a helmet a half-size too big. |
| The road home, as it were, to a | screen door that never locks. |
