Miss-Hap

Driving in-sync with a coal train
mirroring its speed.
Rattling tracks and squealing metal
Window down, due to lack of sight
windshield fogged

Running on E
heart racing with hope 
to arrive home 
without having to use my phone,
or hazards.

Wondering what exactly would happen
if I didn't make it home.
A sudden miss-hap
where I lose control
Collision
air -bag fails to
protect me.

My existence terminated
breath taken from my lungs
Tears shed, a heavy weight
on my loved ones shoulders

Reality returns to me like
a wrecking ball.
Scratch that.
Like a wall of ice.
and I  inhale realization

5 miles from home
car ready to give it up
AC off, Both windows down
blistering wind being the
least of my worries

finally I turn into my neighborhood
and roll to a stop
in front of my quiet house.
