Morning Trip

From warmth and light
Into cold grey damp
Clunk
Twist
Quiet vibration
Cold face
Hydrocarbon tang
Drums beat, guitars sing
Light up the grey
Dim shapes approach and fade
Flick flick flick
Tick tick tick
Red and white shine
between the green strips
White appears in the gloom
Red fades in the distance
Warmth climbs
Grey ribbon stretches into grey world
Press and an unseen force is pushing
as the lights glow and grow
light and light and white light
redlight, redlight
Chest restrained
and slow and slow and
stillness and a slow crawl
turns into a surge
White and blue is the sign
Red, and gold appears
Green arrow
White reflection
Go and turn
and jolt into silence
Stop and step
into the grey.
