In a prose poem, nothing happens. But the elements of poetry: sound, music,metaphor, rhythm, imagery, and particularly repetition, operate, and can reveal depths beyond narrative. In this poem the poet presents herself as angry, nostalgic, skeptical, pious, distraught, glad and helpless by turns. Kasischke’s poetry is noted for its intelligent, honest portrayal of domestic and familial life. Poetry Matters is curated by Lorine Parks.

It was well past midnight, and she was almost home, just a few minutes away from the comfort of her bed. Everything was right with her life. She was a first-year college student and track star at Glendale Community College with an apparently limitless future. Then in an instant, everything changed. A car speeding at more than 90 miles an hour plowed into her car, which then hit Rita and tossed her high into the air. She flew through the night like a rag doll. When she landed more than 15 feet away, her body was devastated. The accident left Rita with 14 separate broken bones, a lacerated lung and liver, internal bleeding, the threat of paralysis from the breaks in her neck and spine, and possible brain damage from bruising and blood on the brain. As she lay lifeless, the odds that Rita could survive were not in her favor. Paramedics arrived at the accident scene within five minutes and immediately summoned a helicopter to airlift her to Los Angeles County USC Medical Center. The accident left her in a coma for 22 days. Doctors can’t say for sure what saved her, although they agree that she got the best possible medical care. Rita rehabbed at Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center, and against all odds, returned to the world of competitive track and field with Glendale Community College.
