The Driver’s Version (2)

Night was cold and dark
Except for the white lines eaten up
By his headlamps

He saw it
Whatever it was
On the road,
As they were coming up to the
Junction
Stop.

He thought shit
What’s that?

When he looked back at the road it was gone.

He turned to her and said:
Did you see it?

But she didn’t answer.

Something must have happened.
He lost time… blacked out.
When he woke up, the car was wrapped round the tree.
