[as yet untitled]

Breathe in Orion
above the thick white lightning
where Mars fumes in
silver deceptive calm

A halo of storm and
sudden patches of clear sky
black, veined in light--
staccato--surround--

Meteoric disco-dash of
headlights and dwindling
demon eyes of tail-lights,
and the show in the sky

Sleep? Not now. Road's shiny
and black--silk sheets--
the fire in the sky becomes my
neighbor's too-bright bedroom lamp.
