Streets Unplowed

 

Streets Unplowed

a ryan luse jam

 

 

In an almost vacant parking lot, with the sky closing her curtains to extinguish all the light

 

My car like a covered continent and tires that sputter to the rhythms of this unforgiving night

 

A heart aching with the wheel, with windows obscured like pictures powdered in arctic cocaine

 

The heater coughs to stay alive, the radio drowned out by winds, whistling like a coming train

 

 

 

I brake for the bends, I bend for the brakes

 

Freezing ghosts ride shotgun with time and mistakes

 

 

I bend for the brakes, I brake for the bends

 

Inching towards a lighthouse that may be frozen in the end

 

The weather is here to stay, forced to take the long way

 

I'll swerve till I'm found, on these streets, these streets unplowed.

 

 

 

Maybe in a parallel highway of life, detours to a boulevard of dreams instead of this snowed in maze

 

Slowly sliding to a deadly crawl, running over karma shaped Snowmen that try to set my engine ablaze

 

Fate will rain down in an avalanche, its time to see what will go first, the soul or the dwindling gas 

 

All the memories tries to fight the cold, as the roads merge into one, to ease the coming crash

 

 

I brake for the bends, I bend for the brakes

 

Freezing ghosts ride shotgun with time and mistakes

 

I bend for the brakes, I brake for the bends

 

Inching towards a lighthouse that may be frozen in the end

 

The weather is here to stay, forced to take the long way

 

I'll swerve till I'm found, on these streets, these streets unplowed.

 

 

Thanks for reading!
