Red Eye

A kiss goodbye on the overpass, red eye to red eye

The world overnight just ahead of tomorrow's sunrise

Concrete spires the manifold ratlines vein the web

Eyes averted running tracks, tying up loose ends

Gate to gate, empty branches, seasons without life

Dusk cuts the horizon with amber, over the portal pull the shade

Concrete spires the manifold ratlines vein the web

Eyes averted running tracks, tying up loose ends

City to city, life to life

There isn't a destination anymore

Setting change out the window

But I'm not there
