My Flesh

Closed fist, 
Blood in my face,
What have I done?
Cops surround me, 
I blacked out, 
It all began, 
After a session of drinking and making love, 
A shadow approached me, 
We began talking about something disturbing, 
He pushed me, so I pushed him back,
He hit me with a left one and all went black, 
I opened my eyes and there he was down flat, 
My own flesh and blood,
My brother.
