I was not prepared

The sky was grieving

The Badlands

The road tore at my tires

As a dog to meat

I met a man

His lips scaly as a snake

Also, a woman

Who was hungry to talk

I felt unwanted

It was strange

The night won't catch me

I went into a state of flight

Escaping from the unearthly landscape

The silence unsettled me

I wanted to go

I was trapped

As the sun angled

Everything changed

As the sun poured the last light

Everything lost their burned and dreadful look

And glowed

It was as beautiful as the moon

As the sun angled

It was beautiful

And for once I would let the night catch me
