• the door slams shut behind her,
    that bright inoccent smile.
    she steps on to the sidewalk,
    she turns to wave goodbye.

    handing her backpack over,
    she starts back accross to the car.
    she had forgotten her cell phone.

    suddenly,
    the head lights flash,
    accross her face.
    people scream,
    the drunk driver acellerates.

    that smile wiped from her face.
    my sister,
    lost,
    forever.
