Pointless Violence by Carolyn Crocker
A step in the dark
gray smoke wafting in the heated air
A bang
A cry
anger and blood
A sneer upon the face of the assaulter,
dressed in the cool blackness of the night
A witness
A motive
careless actions
quick resolution to complicated questions
A false prediction proved true
A verdict
A dream forgotten
death by an unknown hand
Blood still stains the mind and heart of others
in the dingy alleyway in which death came.
