Literature Text

I went down to the
Basement, step by step,
In shock of each one.

Windex in my hand,
My eyes didn’t want to see
As I came to the corner.

I got down to my knees,
And started scrubbing concrete;
My rags turning red.

Crumpled before me
A body lay oozing its
Lifeless red rivers.

The blood sprayed all over,
A woman stood over me,
Washing the scratched glass.

Tears began rolling
As I realized who it was
Pooling in that blood.

Mother how could you?
You are not even crying!
I screamed shrill at her.

She looked down at him,
My brother's eyes blind to all,
His life bludgeoned.

She sighed, I cant get
The scratches in the glass clean,
Averting her eyes.
A dream I had this morning, as I slept in my bed, sick.

This is extremely realistic, almost on the verge of prose, but it maintains its poetry and I enjoy the darkness within it. Very well done!
