When the roads need resurfacing the concrete opens to gap
The raw edges unearthed
The built up tension has caused the exposure to the rumbling core
The pressure placed upon uncovers the tender spots
We observe
We take in the scattered rocks  
Acknowledging its truth
The vulnerable air
We can be grateful we noticed it there
Wide open and bare
Now we can fill up from inside
To bring up to level
To join on the expansive highway
