Breath Before Impact

Breath Before Impact
Lantern light.
Wet stone.

He stands still long enough to be mistaken for afraid.

Footsteps rush in.
A punch, 
he doesn’t block.
He empties the space.

Palm lands once.
Ribs cave inward.
Air leaves forever.

Second man grabs.
Twist.
Shoulder pops like dry wood.

Knife flashes.

Two fingers catch the wrist.
A tap to the neck, 
the knife falls before the body does.

Silence snaps back into place.
He adjusts his sleeve.
Breath steady.

Gone.
