I'd rather be dead
than call her ...dad,
he said
~
the autopsy
showed
his skull
....fractured

his legs
and collarbone
....shattered
~
my 4-year old
slipped and fell
in the shower,
she said

his cries...
ofΒ Β agony

his pleas...
no mercy

his mom....
an accessory?

stoic like these walls
and silent,
as her bully's bare fists
battered
her only son...

you will call me dad!
she said

...between head shots

I'd rather be dead!*
he said
