About This Poem
Remembering My First KO
A breaking branch
And clear sky in my vison
The sensaton of falling is not a sensation...
I'm falling
A dull thud reminds me to where
Vague screams sound more like lullabies
While my back becomes oddly warm
I think before slipping into dark calm...
"I hope that's not my blood."
But my fading consciousness assures me
That it is
Sleep ... minutes ... hours pass?
I wake in a tub filled with bloody water
I tell myself I'm dreaming
A nightmare
But then I remember the concrete pillow I went to sleep on
There are people around
Like music in a grocery store
And I hear a questioning word...
"Hospital?"
Then a familiar voice...
"Naw, he's fine."
Which I found funny for some reason
And gave a thumbs up before I grinned
and slumped
Back into my red bath of distant dreams
*Second KO coming soon...
