At Night


I killed my parents last night.

My sister said Let Them Bleed.

And so I ran, trying to get help.

 

Our local doctor is living right next to us.

He looked at me, preparing the straight-jacket.

No-one believed me.

No-one listened properly.

 

Usually, I run.

This time, I faced my fear and ran forwards,

while my parents lay dying,

and my sister’s eyes on the prize.

 

I never want to sleep again.
