There is a good rhythm to this poem that really drives it along, and which I find quite appropriate for describing a drive through Montana. I also like that second last line. Not many poets writing now write a line as memorable as 'the sunrise in eternal now'.

I am reminded of War of Worlds with light pole “eyes” like an alien drone shooting laser beams. A time I never want to know.

Scares the goose bumps right off your arms like a laser beam raised them and mowed them down with drone concentrated eyes.

Hello Jonathan Potter I apologize for repeating a few lines in the poem which I have now edited out. Your beautiful poem about the dawn and dust reminded me of the Battle of Jena
