Selection

Not human, animal
Not man, beast
Not civilized, wild

Broken

Blows fall
A glance from him to me
Silence pierces the night

Broken

A jarring toll
I feel it in my bones
Filled with terror

Broken

Heart exploding
My legs betray me
Panic ensues

Broken

Wild cries
Shots fired
Falling

Broken

Clawing, tearing
Animal instinct
Into the fire

Broken

Decaying flesh
Sinking to the ground
Not men at all

Broken
