Chaos Submission "Incident"

This is the poem I submitted to Witness Magazine back in March. I heard back from the magazine in July that my poem was not chosen. Now that I have heard back from them, I am free to publish it here. 

Incident  
By: Alice Parker

No forced entry. Well,

Not the home.

Tell them I was strong.

There were signs of a struggle

And blood at the scene

Tell them I was brave.

She must have known him and he

Brutally knew her.

Tell them that I pushed him off and he left.

No sirens blared or

Blue and reds flashed.

Tell them I survived,

She was already

Dead.

And I’m how you heard about it in the first place.
