Heaven - Car Metaphor

Too Late, we crossed the Intersection.

I didn't know what hit us -- just
----passing by, our bodies felt "lighter than our breathing."

The world overcrowded by violent traffic,
---- Our heart was to the car a green light

to a parking spot where it could crash
---- for eternity. I screamed for you to dodge it.

instead you held me in your arms
---- gazing and waving hello to its windows. I wanted us

to evade it -- but you did not.
