Post Traumatic Memories

Dreaded nightmarish reality

police tape encircling home

barricading any normality

insane dreaded footsteps

STOMP STOMP STOMP

BANG BANG BANG

BARK BARK BARK

Pounding on each residency

As if it housed inmates

It commenced upon us.

This ice shivering terror

Remains swimming in me

As I decontaminate its bruise

Upon my delicate psyche.

Blood still pumps in my heart

I’m alive and deeply scarred

Never forget, never forget.
