giant red gashes
slashes and splashes
coming down
dripping down
at first it was just
the dining room
then the living room
and bedroom
I closed my eyes
hoping it would go away
when I opened them
there was more
redder than before
this is why people don’t
wake up at 6am
or if they do
they hate it
I wonder how many
bleeding walls
there are
across the country
across the world
at 6am
I can’t be the only one
that sees them
