horizon roads

lizard tails and tail feathers
our hearts lined in trees
bloodstone inside and
marching square toes
in steel rings and bootblack
down the horizon roads
scented with burnout:
come night, she sings

    Love the heart lined with trees. There’s something to walking at night a treed lined street. And the horizon roads…that fantastic.

      Thanks Bob. I agree, a street with a full canopy at night is something else, isn’t it?

        Definitely. There’s something transformative about it.
