your parents

         were asleep/

in the downstairs

bedroom we

were

                         upstairs

through lucidity and

the night of

       thorns/

mayhem unconstrained

the milkman stairs

groaning but never

     taking

sides/

your midnight cock

like oceans deep

in the tearing

evidence of blood

diffused by

       carnage/

your parents

downstairs/ unafraid
