Setting Sun

Sitting at the red traffic light

Waiting for the light to change

I was going to turn left

The clicking of my turn signal

Click Clack Click Clack

My hands on the steering wheel

Tapping to the rhythm of the

Click Clack Click Clack

In my rearview mirror

I see the sun setting

Gorgeous hues of

orange, red, yellow, and purple

Like flames, flowers, or fireworks

It was hard to drive away

Knowing I’ll never see her again

But I was

Sitting at the red traffic light

Waiting for the light to change

I was going to turn left

The clicking of my turn signal

Click Clack Click Clack

My hands on the steering wheel

Tapping to the rhythm of the

Click Clack Click Clack

Click Clack Click Clack

I had a heart attack
