black chevrolet

overpass walls glow dusty in my insect-yellowed brights
graffiti tangles boldly with mirages from the day

I hear the cold wind rushing lulling me to sleep
I hear the engine breathing rushing me to death

I snap wide with a jerk the car's across the road
mountain fills the window frame terror fills my blood

I hear the cold wind rushing keening through the rift
fingers stiff and shoulders straight and glass driven deep

overpass walls glow dusty in their insect-yellowed brights
graffiti tangles boldly with strobes and blue and red
