The road, winding beneath me

shining like a strip,

cut from a sheet metal plate.

Glistening in the humidity.

An asphalt coloured sky,

hanging overhead.

Motorway grease and dirt,

smothering the passing cars,

striping away their true colours.

leaving nothing, but the subdued

…greys and tobaccos and smokes…

But amongst it all,

the vibrancy of autumn,

falling softly, silently, all around me.
