The trail in the sky

Heat

Coming down from above

The sun stands still

A yellow trail blaze in the sky

Leading me forward

Into its light

Its rays land, dead grass, yellowing brown leaves 

Dark hair on a head

Absorbs the sunlight 

Like a black hole 

Following that same endless trail

To get away from the sun

Posted in response to the challenge Sun.

    Cigarette smoke

    Low in the air

    Filling lungs along with the smell

    Of fried things, that shouldn’t be fried

    Screams fill the night, lit up with rides

    Riiiiing riiiiing
