Ice against steel:
The only steady sound as, slowly
The car is seized by chaos
And spun off the road into destiny.
Blue flashing lights, flicker
Red steaming snow grows
As time slows, then shudders, then stops.
The world folds in upon itself
Darkness upon darkness
Until all that remains
Is a long, cold box
Beneath a grey, withered tree
Tear-drenched with the final misery
Of that long-ago moment (when there was)
Ice against steel.

A wonderful poem that progresses with style from light and color to elements. Well done
The poem "Passage" explores themes of chaos, loss, and the inevitability of fate, particularly in the context of a traumatic event, likely a car accident. The imagery suggests a moment frozen in time, marked by despair and the stark reality of mortality.
