Red Lights Trailing In The Dark [ Tanka ]

Rating: 4.8


The cars move slowly
At a snails pace in the street
Their tail lights flashing
Like embers burning so bright
Red lights trailing in the dark

This is the scene in the cities of Metro Manila in the early evenings during heavy traffic. A fascinating sight to see when viewed from a high rise building.
