"Closer"

"Closer"
by:
Virgilio F. De leon Jr.

I

The moth saw the light

And so much nearer it came

Burned by it's flames

falling unwinged into shame

II

The deer stood unmoving

The headlights took it's gaze

It splattered on the hood

Metal taking all it's grace

III

Brighter and Brighter

The metal train roared

The man in the hood raised his arms

Embraced it as he stood.

Editor's Notes: "Closer" is 4 of  6 in my Change Series where I take a song title and write a poem that is totally different from the songs narrative or meaning. This series revolves around the discography of the Kpop Group Oh my Girl and a song written by one of their seniors in B1A4.
