The Oncoming

There is a picture on the outside
of my windshield
frozen
black and white
And the images move like shadows,
slowly distorting,
with the crossing light
And I touch the memory with warmth
and with fingertips, 
disbelieving,
As the frost 
spirals out, reveals the oncoming—
And she wakes me before I crash.
