Beneath the door I see a light.
|
It's four a.m. in apartment three.
|
Muted sounds.
|
A sealed room.
|
I turn the knob.
|
The door is gone.
|
Yellow light.
|
Kitchen floor.
|
An old woman is at the cutting board.
|
Just her back.
|
Her old bent back.
|
Short, abrupt chopping jerks.
|
How do you like that?
|
I died in my sleep.
|
Face down.
|
Just a little dream I had.
|
Face down.
|
It was more than real.
|
Face down.
|
She turns around.
|
Smiles up at.
|
Laughing teeth into me.
|
Silver gleam and out.
