Under the Milky Way Tonight

Under the Milky Way Tonight

A Poem by Tkess
"

3D Challenge

"

 

The sky's the color of oxidized iron

Wading through the swamp of molten concrete

What is it like on your side of the Milky Way tonight?

My world is spinning like

Someone threw a wrench in the cog

The radio is softly playing

Just a kindly twang, nothing really

To turn off

 

I take a drink and stare out the window

As the night covers us like a bruise

My tongue tastes like cigarette ash and

Our final caress

A siren wails, as

I remember the wreckage that

Was our lives crashing

Like two asteroids colliding

On my side of the Milky Way
