[Ann Emerg Med. 2008;51:781.]

Giving the news
It was over
A tangle of tires and trees in the rain
A girl with no name
Her quiet engulfs the desperate din
Harsh lights on soft skin
Helpless
My eyes hold her small pale hands
Wonder what they might have done
Pain sings in the spaces
My words cannot fill
