Not my usual but was just wondering if any body had any thoughts ...
Driven Off The Road
Driven off the road, or so it would seem,
For no other reason she could fathom,
She'd ended up, car smashed to smithereens,
In the ditch from which she now climbed.
The rain driving into her face, feet slipping,
The now mud, just hours before, firm embankment.
She remembered a flash of blinding light.
How long had she been unconscious?
Her head now pounding, not just rain was running down
Her face; the crimson tinge mingled with the driving
Rain, the pumping in her head increasing. How long
Have I been asleep? Her watch had stopped, no idea
Where her phone had gone. She kept on up the slope
Until she saw headlights, waving her arms for
Help, she saw the car slow down. Then without
A hint of remorse the damaged car sped up, hit her,
Flew her flying through the air, the last thing through
Her mind, the last thing that she saw, the brother
She had not seen since she went to the cops.
