is the name of a song that a friend of mine wrote
and in it he spoke of the road, and how it helped him forget.
Dark. Empty. Eternal. Unassuming. Unpresumptive.
It swallows all of our darkness, our sadness, our emptiness.
It devours all of our failings, our fallings, our foolishness.
Ingesting shadows, with no contract for return.
We take them back, of course, when the sun rises red,
and the road lights up with a thousand souls.
We have to, really. To be human.
