Saturday night I had the unfortunate circumstance of witnessing a car and a motorcycle collide with fatal results. It’s been smashing in my head all week, and Wednesday’s words provided an outlet for expression.
Reckless rider
Yellow bike
Jangled nerves
Red brake lights
Glossy blood halo
Colorless in dusky night
Pronounced at the scene
Black task ahead
Heartache’s strongest color
Purple for the dead

Clean, clear and simple. The colour transition works well.

My sympathies for having been witness to such a scene, and I hope, like the others, that this has helped put the worst of the memories away.

Sorry you witnessed that drama. Events like that stay in the mind for a long time. You’ve done an excellent job of relating it with fine words and flow.
