A flare, like a blinding flashlight, shines at the fore
Puddles of deep crimson crawl laterally — as if that bright dot was the wound
At the periphery, all the hues of bruising — indigo to a shade of purple indistinguishable from black
The colors tuned up by the heat of inflammation felt — but not seen — in the cold view of one beaten to the edge of life
As well as, by the harsh lighting — blues and reds dancing from lightbars and wig-wags of police cars and fire trucks — shining over the carnage.
Excellent.

I loved the last couple of lines. I can imagine the blues and reds from the light bard dancing over the carnage. i thought wig-wags was the perfect word choice.

Why dancing over the carnage? Looking for an answer.

Continuing the metaphor. The deep reds being the carnage and the blue lights playing over makes purples and darker hues.
