misery coil

Along this misery coil Dust drifting on currents ebbing in Approaching storms, lightning flickering is sheets along thunderheads That builds on a hot summer evening Along this misery coil The humidity drips from the flesh like oil A hot engines scream with steam Billowing into the twilight sky Vacant windows with odd old yellow lights wink on In the hot evening Burning tonight Along this misery coil Shadows slide along walls Old n odd along the hollow ground A sliver of silver flashes into the humid Unforgiving night, as dark clouds Pass on to a horizon vast, a white moon comes On a hot summer evening, shines Humid, pale light glows softly under the Indigo sky, streetlights flickering Slick silver rain falling, tumbling into wells vast Headlights slice through the murky, muggy air Along this misery coil, shadows fail.
