vicious monkeys
getting frisky
all elbows and tongues
shaven heads
and swastika smiles
wrong man
wrong place
the power of the knife
twists in the stomach
men must fight
cowards must flee
with the pulse
beating in my throat
blood pool coiling in my gut
I fled
never looked back
whoops of laughter
still ringing in my ears
.
powerful - easy to visualise and flow - scary too
