Off Highway Nine

A free verse

She drove….

Too fast, turned too slow

To save her car

And her body.

The blood too quick

For her fingers

To catch.

The road too slippery

For the speed of

The moving vehicle.

Her, too hasty to notice.

Now, the S-E-S

Called too late to

Reach her in time.

Though she thought,

It didn’t matter.

It was too much

Anyway, she

Was already too

Dead before this.
