Misty Grey Road

By lupus tenebrae

 



The road, once ended in a misty grey,
foreign to the amethyst  in ruin.
Tail-lights winking, disappearing in the fog,

entering dimensions, somewhere in between, 
the median, guard rail and dimming streetlights,
the road once ended in a misty grey,

Mimicing the dusty white of snowfall
in blindfolds, of candles in dark rooms,
foreign to the amethyst in ruin.

All while asking houses for direction
homeward; they had burnt out following ghosts,
tail-lights, winking, disappearing in the fog.

    This is a really decent example of paradelle. I usually find it obnoxious and annoying but here it's rather beautiful. I feel like I'm "coming down" from an epiphany.

    Amethyst must be your birthstone I'd guess? An unusual word color for a repetitive line in verse, cheers (whatever your sign is!).

    Actually, the amethyst stems from elsewhere, my stone is garnet. Thanks for reading, Dan. Scholar
