The Crash by Brilee Bourgeois (’22)
January 7, 2021
The crash of my car,
the mirror in the road,
my bumper on the ground.
My first car, I will always remember,
totaled because of me.
The car sitting in the ditch,
where I was stuck in the car.
Bump, bump bump.
Smash, smash, smash.
Opening the door with my feet,
I was finally free.
I walked down the road
like a lost dog,
crying myself a river.
My car,
sitting there
like a fish
out of water,
unable to breathe,
until it was dead.
