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.
