Road Signs
Unfamiliar territory in the dark The trees gesture with blackened fingers but reveal no secrets The night conceals clues of my path Swallows corners making speed my dare Alone yet over the crest two red eyes speed into the distance under this prophetic sky Spattered with stars forming some new constellation Divined It looks like tomorrow until the tiny star that anchors it flashes red and green and flies south to land Eyes in the distance Speeding under the sky Tomorrow still Unfamiliar territory Comments

Am I right to assume the two red eyes are lights of a car speeding away from the narrator?And the last stanza is an aeroplane landing in a distant?
There's a lonely feel to this piece. Re: Re: Road Signs

Yes liz, you are right on both counts.
It is a bit lonely on a dark road at night, and sometimes we see routine things in light of our mood. There actually was a group of stars whose picture nearly was clear until the bottom star flew away. Re: Road Signs
