against the wall
machine noises
moving closer pushing against ribs pushing against lungs
deep breaths
and screech
scraping wall moves in
pushing turns to pressing
pressing to cracking
rib snaps
rib after rib cracks
deep breath makes pain
blood cough
against the cold back wall
pressed hard
no more space to breath
but looking up
open sky
a single square of blue and cloud
tannoy crackles
"that's life sonny"

"fuck off"
mouthed response
of blood spilling lips

then gone
