Available at: https://stars.library.ucf.edu/seeds/vol1/iss1/18 certain kinds of loud thuds scatter my senses into space, like the ones of a body being battered. when i hear voices rising his wet with vodka hers wet with fear i know what kinds of thuds will shatter the tension into bloody bits of silence. some thuds are propelled down stairs and crumple on the landing others catch flying catsup bottles with their browbones thuds tend to come out at night, like other defiant household creatures but i have heard them in the early mornings and quaked as they were wrenched from their mid-afternoon sockets. and certain kinds of loud thuds still scatter my senses . ..
