On a Nail

On A Nail Dust pan on a nail. Worn out burgundy sofa in the corner. A scratched window pane and empty liquor bottles. Bruised black banana in a brown bowl. A discarded nylon stocking. Lipstick marks on a cracked mirror and tear-stained tissue paper. A ripped up photograph on a bureau. A dusty blanket and a broken porcelain vase. Torn lace panties. Spilled contents from a cheap jewelry box. Dust pan on a nail. Dried up toothpaste in the wash basin. Fourteen strands of blond in the bristles of a brush. A gaping green purse. Rosary beads scattered on a scarlet bed spread. Red strangulation marks on a svelte neck. Stiff yellow corpse in the shower. Two eyes bulging from crusty sockets. Blood stains on the tile floor. A black dagger next to a white bathtub. Stale yellow liquid in a toilet bowl. Dust pan on a nail.
