The Saturday Domestic

The neighbours heard the loud voices and the furniture being broken It was something that went on with words unspoken But that Saturday afternoon was different More than the usual anger being vent This time a front window was smashed out Followed by some more screaming and a loud shout So the neighbours called the police this time And we attended a domestic disturbance that went over the line The first thing we saw was a staggering man Who was coming out not at all grand A deep rendered cut bloody down And this time he went to hospital for cuts and bruises he found. © Paul Warren Poetry
