Red and White flashing strobing illuminating

Red and white lights
Flashing.
Down the street into the blocks
Strobing.

Faces ash-white, eyes
Trailing.
Smell of life and death
Lingering.

Close your eyes to escape the
blinking.
Shut your windows to avoid the
flickering.

of the red and white lights
flashing and
strobing and
flickering
and blinking
and never-ending.
