Driving to take the ferry to Cadiz by Greg McNellie We drove through southern Spain under a canopy of cobalt sky, past seeds planted by Gaudi- grape vines that twisted upwards and rained down wine. Father wore a hooded robe, he clutched a black staff and motioned toward the road ahead. Mother was resplendent in her shroud, with eyes of clay dipped in sherry and glazed. On the way to that gleaming white city I sat ready to lose god at ten. I wondered about epiphanies, if they wore cherry lipstick or gave wrong directions. © 2002 by Greg McNellie.
