driving over the hill
into the breaking
morning sunshine
fresh clean snow
blanket, rippling and cold
the crow was unnoticeable
until it was too late
rising and turing
inches from the windshield
visions of us collide
swerving into the other lane
morning traffic braking
yelling through horns
risking my life
for her’s
risking my life
for her’s
in a moment
stunned by beauty
almost lost
my car remains
moving forward
with kindness
