Wet Pavement
The scream filled his
Heart first
Then crept up his spine
And throat, where it lodged
In place.
No sound came
From his
Parted lips.
No words that
Could describe the
Explosion inside him.
He reached his fists
Toward the sky, hot tears
Burning his tan face as he
Knelt beside the
Limp child.
Red and blue danced
And voices echoed across the street.
A silver Volvo lay in
Pieces across
Wet pavement
Trailing gasoline and stains of
Red.
All the man
Could see was the
Broken child before him, her
Brown hair tangled around
Her lifeless face.
How dare God do
This to him now?
