It gets dark early, swallowing the final call of sundown.
When travelers discover they are nowhere,
it is too late. The dark devours them too.
I found their trace, a postcard declaring,
wish you were here.
When I read that, I started packing.
That crazy vanishing road
comes to remind us how truly lost we are.
We always neglect what matters the most.
