Country Road
silver birch
.. lining road
…. ghost trees
…. snow teeth
.. mighty throat
eerie lurch
gaping mouth
.. swallow cars
… white lines
… road signs
.. battle scars
deadly route
winding neck
.. asphalt beast
… grab all
… free fall
.. metal feast
longing break
coming rain
.. motel night
… hum sound
… calm down
.. rested fright
drive again
