Passing Cars On Cruel Repeat

By lupus tenebrae

A drizzle clatters, soundless, against
the lukewarm flesh of asphalt; charred
complexion slick to careless touch:

the hurried hiss of passing cars
cutting through the mist, plays;
deafening, on cruel repeat.

    This washed up some old pictures and memories to the shore of my consciousness like the smell of the road after a small showeron a hot summer night. I'd call the scene brutally beautyful.
