#2,575 Cabriolet

It’s not what he was doing
[but more circumstance] –
a flood to announce to all
in earshot of each scream
she slung – a bursting of a
breath [of sucked lungs] –
above him there was only
sky & nothing to hold him
in – no seatbelt now – why
now? If he could have got
out before that crash – car
pile-ups damage us – step
away from such wreckage
& do not turn back [he sat
with his face in his hands]
& whiplash was profound
after it – push that roof up
