carried them
at high speed down the road,
she waved to him, he waved to her
each went their way, until

truck slammed the brakes
and words let go
flew off the bonnet
towards a kid that ran

as last embrace
his mum no time to give
and then he bounced
just like his ball
sub tropic midday bitumen
hot like a frying pan
not a single mark is left
for show & tell
