wreck

no! forgiving
slams doors

speeds away
furious grinding
raging gears

tires squealing
smoking resistance--
a combustive

violence,
roaring metal
teeth clutched

shifting knuckles
eyes wide jammed
aching heaving

faster faster foot
to the pedal
ramming night

screaming, shiny
jagged pieces.
dripping red
