Within the Street Lit Room
Within the street lit room
The woman stands with her back to the man.
Within the street lit room
The man walked towards her.
Within the street lit room
The city flashes from behind the blinds.
Within the street lit room
She turns to catch his gaze.
Within the street lit room
Anger fills his face.
Within the street lit room
She smiles gently.
Within the street lit room
The crowds and cars blair from Below.
Within the street lit room
Falls a knife.
Within the street lit room
The door slams violently.
Within the street lit room
The sounds of a woman running down the hall can be heard.
Within the street lit room
Is the smell of iron and liquor.
Within the street lit room
Lies the man bloodied and fallen.
Then the street lit room
The Beast lies dead.
