The road is pause

THE ROAD IS PAUSE

A road gone mute is a pause as traffic
ceases far out beyond where icons of it go;
a common road now most empty as folks hurry
to stay near to where love or habit answers,
and back! as a road is pause in the traffic rattling
by like death, like hungry death on the make, on the take
as if it has a go away clause in its contract, its mission
to crash the bright lights, to flash on and off for code, gone;
gone, gone then binary stars give back their old look-out
in light shot out like cars on an astral highway
that keeps a going on and on, off, off forever
where final love or rote childhood will answer.
