never stopping angry quiet 

Tok Tok Tok Tok:

ink on paper nonsense words

Tik Tik Tik Tik:

lips are moving saying nothing

in the beam of headlights

a flash of motion darts across dark asphalt.

brakes slam,

a breath catches in the throat. 

and the stillness of a stopped car

It gets in the way. 

Whether a cold, a fever 

Strep throat or even COVID

And whispered to the moon,

About the days that haunted her,

And those that would come soon.
