PAD 5

I'm not posting my PAD poem for day five here (about a landmark) but I wrote another one which I will share here. It seriously needs much more thought. But here is my beginning:

Car Crash Memorial Crosses
When I see them along highways
a black mark touches my lung.
I imagine the mark showing up
in an x-ray and my doctor
prescribing a complicated treatment.
My next breath is painful and short.
For a moment I wonder
if I will be able to go on.
