Her gas light went on
In the middle of the road
To Astounding Wonders.
It was an old car
And the gauge
Never
Worked
Right.
It appeared full.
Yet the light shone
And the car died
With an ugly groan.
She got out
And started walking
To find the means to refuel.
She had
No phone or jacket.
She wore heels.
She had been driving
All alone.
She heard the rumble
Of thunder
And it looked like
The sky
Was about to
Open up.
Yet still she went.
Still she’d rise.
Still she’d rise.
