Accident 2

 Dark night
David is driving


David nineteen  pulls over

Fast fast fast\metal slams thuds
headlights engines

 locked together forever
I  am hurt
they find his body
 under
the
back
wheels
 I run fast
Need help bang on doors
Run down road shadowed in\ moonlight
bang on door have telephone
 call Mary mother to
David he is dead

 I tell her he is dead David is dead
The rest of the story
is blurred my memory and loss

 I am alone with a skin scar

 July the first nineteen sixty six

Accident number 1

    Small blue car
 full of children
    Austin A 35 
 compact strong
    Coming down a country road 
   
Billy at the wheel
  good driver
    us children tired cranky wild
    
Adrian in the front aged six
   
 Austin aged nine in the back
   
 seatbelts unheard of back then
    
a country road winding down
   
 Adrian suddenly leaps  back
   
 Billy lets go of the steering
    turned round to catch his son
    
Small blue Austin A 35 slams
   
 Through the hedgerow falls
  
  Rolls upside down silent shock
  
 I hear my voice calling mammy
    
We end up upside down silent
    
in the green grass field damp
  
  I find the window handle turn
  
  open the glass crawl out then
    
walk  in shock three miles home
