5 Minutes From Home
The car crash
The bodies inside making silent history
The girl
Her head smashed into the steering wheel
Her beautiful face
Her skull
Her forehead caved in and purple
The woman next to her
Her body
Her gentle eyes filled with glass
Her unborn child, twisted inside, neck broken, back broken, small mouth open, full of black congealed blood
The four year old boy in the back seat
Neck broken, legs wrapped around each other, broken several times
His little arms wrapped around himself as if he was freezing
Nothing moves
The car & broken bodies wait for the cleanup crew
A crowd gathers around the car
People looking in as if it was a space ship that contained visitors from another world
Ten minutes ago no one would like at them twice
But now, they command a captive audience
The corpses in the car must have done something incredible
Everyone's asking the person next to them if they saw what happened
The police come and tell everyone to go home
Those that can walk do
Those that are dead will need assistance.
