accident                                                                        roseanna boswell

​Once I hit a man
with my car & his face
was a flat moon-decoy
––glow-in-the-dark
              & widening.
Nothing like a deer,
nothing like a person.
There were teeth
in the road.
Or there weren’t.
I imagined it all.

I knew him, or I’d seen him,
or he came out of nowhere.
The road bent around
his limbs, his bicycle
––the night sounded
like a siren & the operator
told me to hold on, ma’am
because someone was coming
& the moon came out
half-masked––
​too late to tell.
