Elegy On A Car Crash Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

Blood, screaming, the Police
could not withdraw the bodies
from the car.

So acetylene came in
and the like.

no melodrama, no acting, sir;
after all
the elegy is propense
to be post-factum
post eventum.

at last the bodies dislodged
two partners in flower
of youth...so to say...
and then
a small child....

screaming, no acting, faces
ashen round
for
Blood, screaming, the Police
could not withdraw the bodies
from the car.
