Drive
 

long drive into an ink dark night
double beams reveal ten dozen feet
black collapsing around us
quick glance skyward reveals diamond sky magnificent

radio towers blink on an unnamed hilltop
light show preprogrammed for my enjoyment
pour the sub-pop straight into my inner cochlea
music is a lone friend on a 3am road

highway's empty save for the truckers
greasy salty nomad wanderers in a big rig
delivering goods alone

ice wind eddies around my numb cheeks
conscious slipping
blink blink
stay awake

solitudinous desert expands peripherally
sunlight slinks over earth's edge
brandishing what night kept sheathed

long buried thoughts unearth as wheels spin
a journey that's fuel for the soul
sleep is chasing close behind
just keep driving

Wow. I liked that a lot!

diamond sky magnificent...
greasy salty nomad wanderers in a big rig...
a journey that's fuel for the soul...

Awesome!
:)

Reminds me of my drive back from

The drive from AZ to Las Vegas is as hellish as it gets. Eight hours of absolutely nothing. Couldn't pay me in casino tokens to make that drive.
