Accidently Me

Accidently Me


Late night drive

homeward bound
from second job

round curve
traversed many
times before

patch of ice unseen

skidding terror trip  
into stone wall I careen

Happened in a flash

my little car crash

sirens awaken me

bright lights 

scurry scurry

neck restraint

gently put my
limp body on gurney

slow motion surreal

worried faces of angels
they can not conceal

I am on the edge
of tragedy 

feeling sort of paralyzed

this could be a coma

maybe even death

but I'm not quite ready
to die just yet

so I have to fight
to survive

to see
the morning

and my worried
family
