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?
