Struck
December 10, 2014
My eyes catch in the emerging headlights,
delicate, but furious.
The glow of the bright fluorescent agitates me.
I run…
I am joined to the uneven cement floor,
the spray of the blood lies
...on the rusty old ford pickup.
The license plate: 333-WYR.
A rapid heart beats, a stream of blood flows like a trail.
The longer I lay, the more I suffer,
Eyes sealed--listening to the engine roar.
Car door opens, then closes.
A moment of silence.
Eyes open, the lights disappear.
…fluorescence scorched into my heart.
