GLASS AT THE FRONT DOOR

I WOKE UP ONE MORNING

AND I FELT A WINTRY BREEZE

I SAW THAT THE WINDOWS WERE SHUT

AND THE DOORS WERE SHUT

EXCEPT THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG,

THERE WAS GLASS AT THE FRONT DOOR.

YES, THE DOOR WAS SHUT BUT SOMETHING SHATTERED IT.

I WAS WORRIED ABOUT MY SON,

SO I CALLED FOR HIM....

THERE WAS NO RESPONSE

I LOOKED DOWN AND SAW A PIECE OF RED GLASS

I KNEW THERE WAS NO RED IN THE DOOR

I KNEW SOME ONE PLANNED

I SAW A TRAIL OF RED LIQUID

I FOLLOWED THE TRAIL,

FIRST ON THE FLOOR THEN THE TABLE

AND THEN IT WAS SMEARED ON THE WALL

I SAW THE BASEMENT DOOR SWAYING AS IF SOME ONE WENT IN,

I FOLLOWED,

I WAS IN MY BARE FEET WITH A PISTOL IN MY HAND

I WAS NOT AFRAID

I SWITCHED ON THE LIGHT

I SAW HIM HE WAS SMEARED WITH BLOOD BUT IT WASN'T HIS

IT WAS HERS

SHE EMPTILY STARED AT MY FACE HER FACE GRAY

HER BLONDE HAIR SOAKED WITH BLOOD

I LOOKED AT MY SON

AND SAID

" NO EVIL SHALL KILL A WOMAN"

I KEPT ON STARING IN HIS NINE TEEN YEAR OLD EYES

I NEVER REGRETTED

WHAT I DID THAT DAY

THAT DAY I SAW

I SAW

GLASS AT THE FRONT DOOR.
