The Accident

an incident that took place just outside our house walls....

A thundering bang, followed by silence..
then the sound of running feet
Raised voices,illegible words...
A crumbled wall & shattered glass..
The siren, once so far, now so near
Fist fights & handcuffs..
Tears of regret beyond the wall
Tears of fear inside it....
An unexpected incident
