Ghosts

fist breaks through glass

while she hides in her room.

"that boy has his spells

takes too much after his dad."

blood drips down newly maimed flesh,

a heaving chest

exhilarated by it all.

mirror reflects reality

from the living room floor,

beads of sweat

drip down a granite jaw

and fall from a stubbly chin

onto the floor below.

sobs are muffled

deep into the pillow,

hands grip

for the only thing within control.

breathing slows,

heartbeat steadies,

blood coagulates.

its going to be a long night.
