Autobahn

just a story

On the Autobahn

between Mühldorf and

Ampfing there is,

at night

not much traffic;

a pattern.

The lights of the trucks

are open stages,

or a circus 

shifting

from village to village.

There must be

somebody

who has gathered

all this darkness

and searched for light.

This reminds

me of my

childhood,

times

when I was 

alone.

Author's Note

I read a lot of poetry, and I notice that a lot of modern poetry reads like prose. So
I tried to get this feeling here, a poem that transports emotion through content rather
than language...

Reviews

[Ruth]

This flows like prose, pristinely so...and wow....such intensity! x

[Tom]

Much emotion on this fast road, an interesting concept !

[Coyote Song]

This makes me feel cold and alone, lost in the darkness life can bring. Very compelling, very visual too. I like this a lot!

[Tina Kline]

A great poem. I love this. Well written with wonderful descriptions that bring this poem to life.
