911

Sleep Walking occurs

Descending off the bed

Thumping his chin

The 5 am wake of the boy

The family awakening


The screeching 

From across the house

A quantity of pain

Of an open wound


The gruesome carpet

And tarnished shirt

On the verge of tears

And squealing 


While seconds go by

The shedding tears

On his saturated  face

And onto his jersey


Dialing 911

Into the car, we go

I decided to write about this story because I've always told people the story but it ended up being me talking for 20 minutes about a 5-minute situation, I wanted to be able to tell people about this story but more shortly.
