Poetry: Drinking and driving

Twisted metal lays dormant,

Once fast and gleaming,

Now placid and splattered with red.

A single malt nestles empty,

Somehow complete in structure,

In the glove compartment,

Next to a photograph of you,

Who I will never see again.

My body is still, lifeless,

My whiskey breath halted

Before reaching my destination

That should have been with you.

Instead by my side coils

Another car with shredded tires

And a hand sticking out

From under steering wheel and glass,

Devoid of movement or future,

As I am a thief of someone else's time.

    where I am or what has happened to me

    sometimes I am so confused

    by Greensky - Shane Barnard

    Come with me don't fear
    I have a car and it's near
    But first one for the road
    Like the saying of old
    Then in court I declare
    Forgive
