Letter To Our Beloved Car

Traveling birds
Shifting seasons
Are reflected on your front glass

This is a usual scene every morning
That day, too
Before bringing our children to school

That day, though
You didn't come home
Injured severely on the road

A few days later
You were back

Your white butterfly like eyes
Looked sad
Appealing that you wanted to work more

The shattered face does not match to your slinky black body

Daddy will get you to hospital

Wait till then

The horn from trains CT and NY lines
Sympathetic and respectful
for our car who had been in service
for more than 20 years
