this night

like so many others

By BrenPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

celebrating headlights

dance upon the wet road

a high beam pirouette

prances upon the wet road

lashing away the night with light

and then

dashed upon the wet road

a flash of bright

fills this night

and is

splashed upon the wet road

filled with light

filled luminescence

filled this night

filled effervescent

filled with embryonic rain motes

filled for pleasant

filled

for life.

The petrichor hangs heavy

a comforting heavy

it tastes like a long time ago

it smells warm,

it smells like wet asphalt

it smells like

the end of the rain,

its heady tendrils creep slowly

both on and above

the slick twilit surfaces

each surface shines

as the motes flit

between

multi-faceted

wet moistened eyes

they look

but never see

a thousand mute witnesses

to this wetness

to this darkness

to this night

nature poetry
