Headlights

I loved soaking in your light.


I’d bask in it’s yellow glow.


But then I turned;

my ears at attention

and eyes no longer

fawn-hearted


the light became a prelude-


Screeching;

rubber on pavement.


I could only watch


My shadow illuminated on the tarmac

not by a sun

but captured

stone-still

by headlights.
