On display in the red-lighted intersection

Is a memory of a mothball nightmare,

A silver Buick totaled and your

Silver hair red.


The scene is vague in my clouded eyes,

Figment sirens ringing in my ears

As people rush to help him,

But not you.


And all the while I am in a car, you car,

Speeding through the red-tinted light,

My heart silent, when I hear

A whisper: Faster.
Traffic report filed.

[critiques would be nice]

This is so emotionally intense. It's so interpretive, and you did an amazing job implying things that you don't just come right out and say. Bravo!
