While walking Clusters of red dots Appeared in front of my shoes Diluted by pine needles and dirt Until more drops broke through Coming alive, they followed me Nipping at my ankles Craving sustenance from their lost body Those splashes of life beaten out by savages Splattered to die on the side walk The thud of bloodied broken knuckles against newly exposed tissue and bone Echoes through those forgotten red dots Still crying without being heard Spilled by the same species Two hostile beings Who fought senselessly out in the street Have forgotten that both left the same life to die on concrete.

Red Drops
While walking Clusters of red dots Appeared in front of my shoes Diluted by pine needles and dirt Until more drops broke through Coming alive, they followed me Nipping at my ankles Craving sustenance from their lost body Those splashes of life beaten out by savages Splattered to die on the side walk The thud of bloodied broken knuckles against newly exposed tissue and bone Echoes through those forgotten red dots Still crying without being heard Spilled by the same species Two hostile beings Who fought senselessly out in the street Have forgotten that both left the same life to die on concrete.
