An Accidental Encounter

The rain blackened pavement shone
As tires squealed aloud, a harbinger of grief
The road a frequent traveled path nothing unexpected
Until tonight a sight too late, the driver swerved
Disabled in the ditch alone, a seatbelt to incarcerate
A sound floated final to the driver’s ear
The hedgehog squeaked “Forgive me”
As he fiercely clutched a marigold astride the yellow lines
