Idle Road Poem by Vincent Igwilo

Silhouette tapping on the sidewalk
Kreys dangling as miss red fumbles
The engine reeves and swoosh
Leaving a trail of dust

R & B blasting from the stereo
Reminisce - her soul
She breaths in the dark chill air
And looks on hazily

And suddenly, a scream
A hush and thud
Miss red rushed out
And all she saw was red

She stood transfixed,
As it all went in
The realisation of what happened
Suddenly leaning in

She heard a smirk then a loud laugh
It echoed through the night air
And she heaved a sigh
Looking at the lunatic with a red wine.
