A shady vehicle

A shady vehicle

I found the perfect song
against the unknown monster.

It's a slow waltz out of focus
into different layers
with a different palette
and a firm but melancholic chorus
with brass and drums and tambourines
all blaring at once
to send the traveller off.

The unknown monster lies in its art
like the baby in its cradle,

but I'm sure
autumn shifts cloudy trees
just to let the sun shine on the lonely traveller.
