What was that sound?
Was it a hiss under some feet?
Or the sound of a crumpled autumn leaf?

What was that echo?
Was it a cracked window shield?
Or the sound of a splinter into fleshy meat?

What was that thump?
Was it a dead deer on the street?
Or the sound of an orphan getting beat?

Unfortunately, it is an heart,
finally within reach.
