Driving the highway tonight

With no lights on

Hoping to see the stars

Away from city lights

Illuminating the path

Laid out before me

Travelling down the 101

Aiming to get back

To Route 66

To meander in the past

Can I wake you, friend

If you are still alive

Can I survive

Such detritus

On Route 66

A road trip at last

Will we survive

My old friend

A collision with

Each other

After our mutual

Loved one has died...

I don't know

Any more

The highway

Reveals a dotted line

Leading away

And pointing ahead

To destinies unknown

Which may reveal

Or conceal

If travelers

Remain together

Or part

On the road instead

Point-blank
