Highway at Night

Three stars of the Orion’s belt
Reflections gone astray,
The glassy air with every bite
Sucks empty breath away

Lanes flash: white, yellow, interchange,
The shackles of asphalt,
The highway’s empty curves encase
In silence of the night

And every curve and turn is strange,
Unseen, what will they show?
The miles fall down like scimitars
And time falls down like snow

The broken crescent moon is stoned
It mellows up above,
Its hazy features underline
Its smile - garlic clove

The brown rice of earth and snow,
The wind is crying free,
The curtain’s drawn, forget the show
Night issues its decree
