Poem of the Week
Instant Recall
Michael Virga (MV)


on the left rear
peeling apart
at 130 rpm

a Firestone
newly treaded

with skulls & crossbones

blows out
from a foot-
and-a-half

long gash

*

on the way
to be a ring-bearer

the family's SUV
reeled out-of-control

her 8-year-old
no longer right behind her

she tracked the distance
thrown way back

I finally found him
in a pool of blood

his limbs badly broken & twisted


*

and he can no longer
know her as mother

two weeks later
released from IC

back at home
raising a vegetable

but like plants respond
to touch & sound
