I felt it. 

That night my dreams were diseased

With flashes of metal and red traffic signs. 

Then, I couldn’t tell the shape of the stormcloud.


But I felt it.

I felt the brakes compress, like lungs crushed by a boulder.

I felt the shudder of the engine spiral into a place

Outside of control; outside of care. 


I felt the way you closed your eyes.

Wishing for another sunset. 

Wishing for your sister, wondering if you will meet,

Finally. 


I felt it.

I felt it all.
