Morning on the bus

My teeth click
as the bus
bumps down
the dirt road
The mountains
are firmly pasted
below the clouds
the trees lose their
definition in the early
morning light
they appear to be 
paper cutouts 
very delicate
someone arranged the 
clouds in streaks
and lumps
I watch the yawning 
world through the dirt
in the window
it is morning on the bus

    I can definitely relate to the feeling of being up early and on the bus. I also loved the way you described the trees!

    I never found the bus to be so aesthetically pleasing and calming but that's the wonderful image you;ve created. 'someone arranged the cloud in streaks' is such a good line

    I write because the music of language spoke to me in books and I wanted to make a beautiful noise to answer back ~ Lee Williams.
