He was Driving that Night
among the shredded beat
of his broken heart
knocked the agony
meaninglessly hollow
sharp shards of emptiness
he touched his face
did he change…?
nobody told him
otherwise
no one spared a glance
they left, they all did
he loved them so
her and his children
but he stood alone
in his silent testimony
a triple curse
of a drunken driver
turning his love
into ashes
dusts in his mouth
his mouth found
the bottle’s neck...
they died in the wreck
he sobbed, spewing gin
he was driving that night.

This was inspired by an incident recently where a family of five was involved in a car crash...killing three. The father escaped with injuries, and another child is in critical condition. I don't know if it was DUI. It is a tragedy though.
