Motorway driving

lights whip by

wipers wiping

mists spray high

 

Visibility low

concentration high

cheek by jowl

lorries flash by

 

Black night darkness

heavy in heart

low visibility

from the start

 

Cat’s eyes visionary

unnoticed by day

celestial markers

guiding the way

 

Motorway driving

a challenging night

homeward I’m bound

destination in sight
