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.

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