Today

**** Today

waking to the phone

gut wrenching words

breaking my knees

kiss the ground

bash the skull

saliva and snot

staining cement

conscious seizure

dress the wound

keep the keys

close to my heart

drive me there

smoke lingering

in the passenger seat

with the windows up

they cut him down

before i saw

garage door

never opens

any more
