Feel For The Road

Night encumbers

Tire stained blackness road

Speeding on concrete steel bridges

That fall and rise

From the sky,

What little battle highway lamps

To peel back the black,

Leaves me wondering 

Am I beginning or end

Of the tail lights dragon.

Its pure matched love

My alloy aligns

With the concrete sides

Along barriers of my sanity,

The speedometer 

My Angel, my demon,

Feeling life steady

Can dwindle at any moment 

In responsibility of the wheel hands

Just as lanes change then fade;

One merges into machine

Others belong to stop and go fashion,

Set my GPS mind

Unload a foot made of stone

The needle inches towards Empty

As thoughts shift to an itch

And keep driving on past home,

To chase down night

Until it releases it's death grip

Retire by sunlight

This vampire workaholic.

I pay respects with every bit

Of oil blood loss

Every inch of disintegrating tread......

To reaper roads,

The fate holds

A fiery wreck coffin 

Full of dead.
