Ah, the old kitchen floor needed a better cleaning, from the
wild night that caused this!

Been there done that! Should have swept better, I suppose.

This made me think of angry fights, picking up pieces, of sweeping things under the rug. My mind wandered....

Great poems invoke an effect. This one does just that. I want to cringe as I think of the issue at hand.

I love the stories that come to mind with this. And yikes, I know what that feels like... It sounds like a lot of pain and obscenities and feels like a sudden jerk of death. Lol. I like the title, it seems to evoke a greater deeper curiosity and story. Nicely penned! Congrats on the Spotlight!
