Blur

raindrops on my windshield

wiped into a blur,

smearing lake and sky;

raindrops on my windshield,

teardrops in my eye

wiped into a blur,

watercolor world,

car bobbing like a boat,

wiped into a blur,

guilt filling my throat

watercolor world,

painted lovely, numb,

sinking in the stormwater,

coldness crashing in

watercolor world

blurring siren din

painted lovely, numb,

is how they’ll tow me out

body blur blue broken

icy as a lie

Painted lovely numb

teardrops in my eye
