A Poem a Day (343): Driller on the road

 

Driller on the road

They’re digging up the road outside,
the driller killers tarmac dicing,
victim silent in this bloody war,
tools splitting, plunging down
deep into the subterranean swirl.

The city’s backbone rides on out,
transporting feet and vehicles
between destinations near and far.
Listen to the vibrations hurrying out,
carrying their murmur to the city limits.
