out of silence, shouts
louder, angrier
higher, more desperate
a lifted knife plunges
an arm drives downward
break in the clouds
the sun dumps gold over
the man writhing hand-cuffed on the grass
the man lying limp in the driveway,
red and gold
swift cars, blue uniforms,
neighbors in groups, gold-tinged
the ambulance drives away
a gold star on its windshield

I have missed your postings. Please write more....
