Dark Migration
Imagine
Dark upon dark
Driving the desert
Beams shining on nothing
Far from people
No signs, no homes, no lights
I am numb, fading…
Suddenly, Sounds
Jarred to attention
Aware of rumbling
Auto is jostling
A flat; no, what
Before my lights, now
Hundreds, Thousands
Bodies upon bodies
A river of rodents
Crossing my path, my road
Surreal; what to do
Stop, NO
My mind has visions
The bodies crawling
Climbing into crevasses
Myself waiting with horror
Drowning inside under many
Keep Going, Keep Going
My soul wants to halt
My heart wants to ride
Heart over soul; this time
The sounds continues
The jarring continues
Crushing; one to many
One over many; this time
Suddenly, Nothing
I am Numb, Alert.
No signs, no homes, no lights
Far from people
Beams shining on nothing
Driving the desert
Dark upon dark
Can you imagine
Yes, this was real.
