Broken Neon Iii
Splash of neon light.
Neon glass shatters.
A pale face looms out of the gloom.
It shimmers into the night
Smash of an engine's steel,
A flash of sharp car headlights.
Black eyes stare wide
Crash goes the ruby taillights, sparkling.
The crunch of black ice!
A Machine in death throes
Winter is here at last.
Milky slim hands grasp...
Sharp edges of ruined steal, cut!
Mechanical auto-parts, tires, chrome, teeth n bones!
Something ashen; a figure stands there...
Under a spinning bright golden arc, sparks!
If humanity is to blame?
Human twisted forms fade away.
We all go blind in the burning flame.
As the car comes to a screaming, screeching silent halt!
Neon shatters into the night.
Flares, like stars drift down.
…faces loom out of the nightmares gloom!
Black Ice breaks,
Auto-parts and mechanical hearts;
Cascades, Resonates, Detonates
Broken Neon; a coming doom.
