Her eyes were vacant,
flat slabs of black in a swollen face
that emanated hatred.
She barely moved her lips,
Her words falling flat:
The facts were wrong
She had three broken ribs
and numerous contusions.
My heart ached.
How could one human being
inflict so much distress
on another?
What would drive a person
to so completely wound
and damage this woman?
