The Red Fire Engine


 

In between here and now

then again, how?

Frozen montage of sheeting rain,

screeching brakes, glass and pain.

Death

drawn by the sirens scream

waits patiently at the edge of the dream.

And watches

a red fire engine in the rain

reflecting life-blood

pouring down the drain.

Paul,

Painful imagery and hectic meter accelerates the tension
mounting in this write. Well done!
