Bathing in Blood

David Hernandez


Locked in an isolated cell
with a window, bared high up from the floor,
a small door opens to feed me
mashed potatoes and chicken breast.
I shoved the plate aside to see the light
from the door. It closed and I could see
my food splattered all over the floor.
Maybe over five years it’s been,
it’s hard to keep track of the year,
but I’m still facing the dark prison cell.
My rage hard to control,
starting school shootings,
killing three offending students
and injuring plenty,
something I wished didn’t happen.
Their sacrifice now my guilt
transfigured into blood
that drips from my mouth to my hands.
My skin colored in crimson color
and nothing to keep me dry.
