Painting: A Canal Tunnel Near Leeds 1799–1801 by JMW Turner on Wikiart.org Public Domain

The distorted sun resembled memories I once knew,
of driving through tunnels of shafted dreams
and excavated beams of scattered light.

I held my breath,
as lanced skies spewed random buckets of contempt,
in circular winds that drenched asphalt and cement.

Water everywhere,
Meshed with echoes of darkness.
Inescapable. Replicated.
A tunnel of shattered, perforated dreams.

The sun,

replaced by the fury within my soul.
