End (Free verse) by MacFrantic
Temple square
And I am midnight to these people
A dancing slip of wind
Here the slaughtered boy
The one with the chest wound
And scratches across his face
Asked if I would pray for death
I told him
I would do my part
In saving him from despair
But I never got the chance
He was swept away by men in masks
Who were carrying bags
That sounded of metal when they ran
And I stood there and watched him
Taken away by the very darkness that surrounded me
I did not step
I did not look
His screams died away and I left
They found his body on Sunday
In the dumpster by the public pool
