LIKE BONE TO THE GROUND
LYN LIFSHIIN
Not until he started to feel her
first her wrist then suddenly
under her coat ramming her against the
wall starting to but she couldn't
scream the knife in his hand
groin up against her
his thigh splitting her knees till
she cracked like bone to the ground
flesh ripped silk in his teeth
then it was over
next day she didn't show up for work
or any day after
