Crawl Space

By midnights voice

Dirt

Block

Wood

Basic definition

Plus space always between

As a boy so inviting

The dogs liked it

Spiders liked it

I liked it

I could see feet come and go

Hear car doors slam

Someone asking ,

Where's Tom run off to ?

That day

The fight inside spilled out

Angry steps

Yells and screams

Shouts

The sound of fists hitting flesh

Breaking bones

You crumpled to the ground

Vacant eyes staring at me

But you couldn't see

Blood began running

Hands picking you up

I could hear you

Bouncing on the back seat

The door slammed

Another opened

"Slam"

The car roared angrily

Gravel flung everywhere

Dust settled

All's quite

Did I tell you

It's cool under here ?

Did it ruin the crawl space for you or did you find a way to still enjoy it?

An unforgettable vision MV; especially for a youngster. My brother got hired by a neighbor to spread Chlordane ant dust under his house - not for me...Cheers for this slice of real life - Dan (guessing she survived?)
