Faces in the mist

 


Faces appear,

highlights in the headlights,

cutting the mist

as we hit the lows.

They fleet through

windscreen view,

Distorted screams,

discordant constructs,

echoes that can be true,

but the screams that erupt

sound so real

as we drive

into the deepening blue.

 

Faces leer, bringing fear

to bloodshot eyes.

Deadlights in the low light

on this night of bad tides.

Wheels splatter mud,

struggling to grip,

This road feels evil.

No good can come

from this trip.

 

Faces from your

worst nightmares,

only now they are there,

created by the foggy air.

They appear in a blink,

into our reality they slip.

The link between dreams

and this supposed real life.

They appear,

in the slick veneer of night,

and disappear just as quick.

A trick of the light

playinh games on our fear?

 

Faces come near,

through windscreen they peer,

licking their crumbling lips,

inspiring fear.

Firing thoughts that never seem to end.

What could be waiting for us

around the next bend?

Faces loom close,

through misty car windows.

Fading vapours, yesterday echoes,

that swirl into the air.

Blink and you'd

forever be missed,

no one would ever

know you were there,

or that the faces exist.
