Shock

Breathless a wave of shock 
A slight stumble over tumble weed 
A drop, a fall 

A scream, a stone, a mirror 
And i see 
A reflection of someone else not me 

Fainted , now i hear voices around me 
Surrounding me
An ambulance, a siren 
A wave of local people beside the road 
 being ordered to disperse.

I am now carried away 
On a flimsy transferable bed
I see the sky a dusty shade of blue 

I pass a body, a few 
I can see the plan so carefully laid out before me 
So what went wrong?
