black ice

black ice – a transparent coating of ice on a road, usually asphalt
~
Winter comes with its driving challenges. Heavy snow, slippery roads, poor visibility … a good driver is aware of them all. Black ice is particularly challenging … it’s hard to see, often unnoticeable until you are trying to navigate across it. It may look like bare pavement, smooth sailing all the way! Black ice can be a metaphor for any dangerous encounter in our lives.

your eyes glitter
crystals of salt
I think you are
untrustworthy
your charm a veneer

black ice only shows
in a stray beam
of moonlight
or when headlights are switched
to high

Drive with care in every incident of life!!!
