BLUES TO GREYS

I wrote today's poem over the course of a day, returning to add and alter lines as the day unfolded. 
The inspiration came from being stopped by a traffic accident. As I reflected on the time I spent in the traffic queue looking out of the window I made my thoughts into this poem.

Night slips into dawn,

Russian blues to greys.

Each brake light neon red,

a stilled steel wave

stopped on the crest of the hill.

Most solo driven,

lonely bubbles of plastic and glass,

whose digital clocks countdown

until, at some point, we move,

to crawl past the cones.

I try not to see the trembling woman

but glimpse her new complication,

a wrecked car,

yellow metal skin ripped open.

In two seconds I have passed by.

The day is light,

the open road leads me

back into the details of my life.

As usual there is no title. Perhaps I should be one of those poets who simply number their work. It would be easier.
I am not sure if it is complete. I intend to put it away for a couple of weeks then see what it looks like.
Here is 13 minutes of superb music from Brooke Sharkey.

Until next time.
