At the red light
A light shines red like acrylic on a canvas
All the cars wait behind the snowflake line
the light gives way to green releasing the long line of cars
At the red light
ants are in a row
colorful with four wheels
the lady in the front car, the driver, a mother
in the mirror her children sleep
quiet mice, sound sheep
At the red light
red beams on forever
a silhouette dashes in the distance
death creeps up on the ominous shadow
death shaped with four wheels, chrome hubcaps, and tinted windows
At the red light
one, two, three shots cracks of lightning which stole the shadow’s breath
red blossoms from its chest
fireworks of red
must’ve hurt they said
red crystals sprinkles in a dark cupcake
At the red light
the world turned green apathetic to recent events
and the cars trucked on like camels through the desert
At the red light
the eldest child in the front car saw glistening in the mirror
her mother’s tear
the cars flew down the highway, away from there, away
At the red light
a girl went on with her mother to live another
and
At that red light
a girl died
blossoming with red birthing death’s red love
she now laid in a bed of crimson petals
At that red light
A light shines red like acrylic on a canvas
All the cars wait behind the snowflake line
the light gives way to green releasing the long line of cars
