schoolyard salvo
By theBAC
jungle gym shrapnel
impaling 8 year olds
bloody limbs on merry-go-round
hand gripping monkey bars
with no body attached
decapitated heads
rolling down the slide
bullet-ridden bodies
falling from the swings
loose eyeballs filling sandboxes
ripped of toes in the
hop-scotch square
blood pooling in the corner
of the four-square box
childhoods blown apart
