Out of nothing
Flew that car
Not a leaf ruffling
And yet he flew so far
Never saw a face
Didn’t need to see
To know his place
Lies in history
Few saw the act
But fewer saw me
When I heard a crack
Everybody heard my scream
Not for what I saw
But for what I felt
Though not against the law
I felt such guilt
He probably felt nothing
But I felt it all
He left the leaves rustling
As I felt a claw
He clawed for life
And left me pain as he did
Could I have saved his life
I don’t know, for I just hid
Couldn’t look away
But couldn’t be seen
Now day by day
I’ll remember his destiny
