I used words from the book the Outsiders and the short story “On the Sidewalk Bleeding”.

                                                            Stabbed 10 minutes ago
                                                The knife entering just below his rib cage
                                                       Drawn across his body violently
                                                         Tearing a wide gap in his flesh
                                              He lay on the sidewalk with the March rain
                                                                 Drilling his body
                                                                  Blood poured
                                                     Had known excruciating pain
                                            When the knife had torn across his body
                                      Sudden relief when the blade was pulled away
                                                             Dark pool growing
                                                              Spreading slowly
                                                               Johnny’s hand 
                                                     Clutching his switch blade
                                                          Was dark to the hilt
                                                          My blood turned icy
                                                        Fighting the dizziness 
                                                          I’m gonna be sick
                                                    Quietly sick for a moment 
                                                 Leaned back, closed my eyes
