"Human Accident"

A human accident is what they
call it. 9 times out of 10,
a human tragedy. Secular martyrdom:
the 8th leading cause of death in the country.

Shedding skins, suitcase smashed to pulp,
orange blossom fissure;
something to scarlet to stained glass. A way
to move on while hampering
countless strangers and their plans.
Lunch dates unmet due to train tracks
fused together with cartilage,
muscle, leather and bone.
