Shattered Night Poem by Ray Hansell

Shattered Night



The silence of the night
Is shattered by the firing of a gun
A store clerk falls to the ground wounded
I turn and run

Soon the sound of police sirens
Are heard everywhere

I run down an alley
I jump to climb a fence
I hear a cop yell stop
I fail to heed his call
The night once again is shattered
By the firing of a gun
