Electric Romance

Electrified metal giants 

Wading through fields 

Phantoms on the windows

Racing to vanish 

Dormant trucks lie in rows

Like sleeping bodies

Brooding diesel within 

Bright specks smear the glass

Fireflies and street lamps

All cousins when the fleeing countryside 

Lay behind them

Vulgar roadsides become poetry 

The grass a great green sheet

Covering the sleeping earth

Houses become living creatures 

Their souls in the porch-lights 

From within a bus, all is beauty 

Through the pavement runs 

An electric romance

[Tess]

This is amazing! I love the personification, the depth, and the meaning of this beautiful poem.
