Dave Lewis - A Kenyan Accident

Flamingo’s fly where she goes <br />The jeep wheel spinning free <br />Blue, blue orange sky <br />Nakuru’s baked white pink. <br /> <br />She once was loving, laughing <br />Watched children – shout, sing, smile. <br />Red fast, brown hot, too fast, too fast <br />Then she’s crashing craters. <br /> <br />Sweet sweat that tastes of rock <br />Killing, killing <br />Tilt, untracked – <br />The acacia standing guard. <br /> <br />Now creamy skin all torn <br />Blood eyes that <br />Stare at lava <br />Children’s faces frozen time.<br /><br />Dave Lewis<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-kenyan-accident/
