Post Break-Up Drive Home

The gearstick your lance
I am wounded by forced silence
Hanging between our fingers
And nestled within the static 
Of a Radio Four documentary

Unremarkable stretch
Of grey-blue blurs 
Interspersed with coughing saplings
Struggling in their plaster casts 

The miles tick downwards
My chest balloons with relief 
Sweaty fingers fumble with the dials 
Is there a station to drown out your resentment? 
Deep lidded glares, caught in the musty smell eminating from
Under my seat
