I once saw
a truck
hit a child
she dashed to cross
the street
just this much
too far ahead
of her Mother's protective grasp.
In that moment,
I was
struck helpless
watching
the slow motion
collision of flesh and bone and metal.
It is a sensation
I cannot forget.
Now,
as I watch You
race to collide with
the inevitable
I am again
struck helpless.
