The sound of a smack
against the tile floor
the odor of a body in blood
rolls in through the hall

Another sound of a smack
but first with a blood curtling scream in the dark
another odor of a body in bloodwith a sound of heavy dragging

I toss and turn
i scwerm then shake
ican't sleep with these thoughts and images stuck inside my head
I scream with wonder to the sounds outside

a gash is struck inside of my heart
a gash so big I'm finally at rest
