The Accident

Pale as the breeze

sullen, sunken was her face

as the creature jumped before her

she let out a blood curdling scream

in what was left of the night light sky

in her rear wheel drive

screeching to a halt

she could still taste the salt

upon his tongue

as he traveled through her windshield

kissed her face

bid her good morning

and farewell

to them both

the roadside kill

attraction

for all that passed

beginning their days

saying God's blessing

of just cursing the traffic

that may have made them late

a nuisance

to their days

but one young girl

and a furry companion

that leapt forth

in front of her car

ended their lives

that day.
