Could not Recall locked in a cell before
or even visiting a police station.
Now here he lay petrified on his own
listening to the noisy drunks.
With time to think why he was here
should not had that last beer!
He never meant to kill that violent guy
it really was self-defence.
Had anybody seen him get attacked
in that empty dirty alley.
Or as the man lay still that weird mist
like an orb the size of a fist!
Rose into the sky entering a weird light
did he actually witness that?
Police then arrived and arrested him
not caring he was in shock.
Hours later a solicitor came to advice
his situation to analyse.
How to explain what only he had seen
as the man lay dead.
Coming from within his unmoving chest
it was only one punch!
But fell heavily onto the back of his head
quickly the ground oozed red!
Told them everything that had happened
as two cops intently listened.
Soon returned to his cell to wait once more
until they had an autopsy result.
Not believing what he alleged had occurred
they said it sounded absurd.
There all night unable to sleep a single wink
told he would be released.
The man died of natural causes they said
charged him for being drunk.
Soon found himself on a damp busy street
falling asleep on his feet.
Not a religious sort of person never was
but surely it was not his soul.
Rising up into that place called heaven
that was only a written story!.
At this point his wife drew up in her car
where was the nearest bar?
Something changed in his life that night
given the gift of second sight!
This was a strange new beginning!
The Foureyed Poet.
