Purr
by James Morehead
another coke a hazy burn of caffeine pump down the window a cool burst of darkness hand extended flying in the wind (a trick to stay awake) tape selected click music folded into the purr of wind engine hum through my spine insects flicker in reflected headlights carving a path through a moonless night lightening flash high beam attack from a hilltop crest roadsign reflecting glance right toronto 385 blink left raccoon stare frozen mirrored light no time impact a split second of flesh and steel a sickening crack the broken body rolling beneath behind me in darkness gone shivering to forget glowing eyes caught and held in fatal awe
