End Notes

Foggy Night

By Zubin Agarwal

It is cold
Yet the night is beautiful
Street lamps blurred by a thick fog
Car radio singing gently in the background
The road is so peaceful.

I drive further through unfamiliar territory
Destination unknown
Memories of the past fading into the darkness
Confusion dissipating into the fog
It all seems clearer now
Not sure why I stayed this long.

I drive
To where I do not know
Not once do I look back
A disappearing act worthy of a magic show

As the fog grows heavier
My eyes grow weary
Yet my vision remains
My escape route meticulously planned
The road bends to the left
And I’m gone.
