Tomorrow Should Be Fine

quotes are my passion dot info
After the sun's final attempt
to peel its rind and duck
below the skirt of the horizon,
the concrete shallowly
reflected the cursed orange
rays. I found myself underneath
the crumlbing viaduct.No
light singed my toes
against the city's concrete underbelly.

Hands on feet in cars
with broken fingers and 
trucks arched through the night;
Howling bestial screams
of light and smoke from apparitions
with steamy breath, and eyes
like dirty yellow clouds
of tarnished crystals.

In the belly of the mechanical
beasts, I failed in my bounds;
A plastic sack floated
Please Come Again through
the night air with his eyes
set on mine, and howled with laughter as I struggled
and bounced through
his night, trapped like a child.

The city's a maze, golden 
with industrial sludge
nestled from the back; the
Roads close their eyes
for the night. The sun is
buried far below the cityscape,
rooted down in a peaceful
slumber, until dreams of 
Demons pulled me under
the road's glossy face.
