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
