Driving North

Driving in the dark
I saw diamonds,
Diamonds in the air,
Diamonds everywhere,
I’d have been wealthy,
But I didn’t stop.
 
Driving in the morning light,
I saw the crystal,
Crystal wrapping all.
I could have see the future,
The time to come,
But I didn’t stop.
 
In fading shades of gray
I’m driving,
Through now broken glass,
Glass that is tearing at me,
Flensing skin from bone
What was once familiar
Is no more.
 
Driving North
Through darkening skies,
It’s winter.

(2008)
