SPIN-BACK

 

 

Spin-Back.


Numbed by first trickle of unbelief\'s fear
She knelt as that flow of pooling dark red
     Discoloured grass, small circles like treacle  
       Were slowly congealing about his still head.

 

Silenced by shock she focused glazed eyes
           A once sporty car lay pieced on hard ground        
          Spilling destruction  while her disturbed sight      
          Became fixed on one wheel still turning round.

 

Stunned by confusion a sudden spin-back
            Revived her to hearing the moments before.                 
The tree halting speed with one piercing crash,
She knew his young heart was beating no more.
