The poet uses B. metaphor most in this poem. The comparisons, such as describing the road as a "steep forehead" and the engine as an "old lion," illustrate the use of metaphor to create vivid imagery and convey deeper meanings.
he road was a steep forehead
ending in a jungle of hair.
The night was an empty kettle
pouring out sparkling popcorn—
dust meeting with the air and
tires screeching in vain,
rolling but going nowhere.
The engine was an old lion
roaring but weak in the core.
In the road as long as the trail
I'd left behind, I was alone with the sky—
staring at the moon with antelope eyes.
