Steer, Wheel
Mom.
/stop the car/
you said and I
pulled to the side I was
driving instead of you I was 12.
.
You told my brother to get out
get out he said no sat still
for the first time gripped the car
seat as if his knuckles could grow
roots.
.
It was the red car it was
the one I flipped down a hill later
that year.
.
David my brother.
Mom turned to you from the
backseat her face red her hair
distraught and you laughed
again.
.
How could you stop?
How could any of us,
stop?
