Witness
…please
no not
this - it’s
unnecessary - a
summer night the
street smokes night
clubs heave cabs
disgorge soho rickshaws chance and weave- it
can’t happen no
please not
this tell
me it didn’t happen - the
bouncers throwing
trouble out- two
young men feuding- the
street brawl the
anger ricochets around the square the
rage returning down
the street the
knife the
fall the
blood the
pavement took it all you’re
dead at twenty four - the
night club owner cradles
you- his
face in disavowal - no
please it
didn’t happen- not
anywhere- not
underneath my window- no
- I didn’t hear it - that
primeval howl Liz
