"The Crash"
Sparks flew as the car hit the guard rail
the same scene replays
just before the moment of impact
as the car ignites and explodes
every moment fades to black
miles away, a son wakes up
to the news that his father
barely escaped an ignoble end
it is December now
in the young man's mind
a car hits a patch of ice as it
careens off the road and
into an embankment
landing viciously in a ditch
time plays in slow motion
there are screams, there is blood
all is cold
the sirens are approaching
in the distance as snow and sun
silently watch
there are tears
and the solitary sound of
desperately beating hearts
waiting to escape.
