The Bathtub

Woken by the night watchman

The Fear takes hold

It grips the intestines tightly

and twists.

There are no

right answers

and when the fists arrive they

are not unexpected.

The blood drips

making a stain on the wooden floorboards

in the shape of a heart.

Fury flies,

it fills the air with fever.

Dragged by the hair

the body is flung into the bathtub

the head

hits the tap and

stops.
