The Black Road Stretches Out
Jul 19, 2021
The black road stretches out further than I can see.
Towering pines stand arm-in-arm, green and yellow walls on vying sides.
They blurrrrr in my peripheral.
Their linked-up limbs dare the hidden animals to
come on over red rover.
The sky is becoming… or
unbecoming?
As the sun sets behind me, I long
to stop
and watch it melt into the horizon as the light spills
out on either side and sinks below the world I can see.
But I remember, this side of the sunset is beautiful too.
And the moon,
almost round,
almost whole
like how I feel.
Half of me (at least) kept unseen.
And the black road stretches out further than I can see.
