hit and run

she gets hit by a car
and goes
into the air,
twirls
and spins off the ground.
it happens so fast.
no color,
no brand, no clue
as to who or what car
collided against her
leg,
breaking it in two.
she's dazed.
the stars are misaligned
above
her as she lies on
the street
still holding a bag
with a box of shoes.
she feels fine
she says as she tries
to stand up,
as she sits on the edge
of the curb.
in her ear
there is the low buzz
of nothing.
the blur
of time.
a siren. the sound
of weeping
nearby as to what could
have been.
