Poem
Inspired by the many true crime documentaries I have watched and in memory of Judy Malinowski, whose death set in motion a law in Ohio called Judy’s Law, to increase punishment to those who use accelerants leading to disfigurement in felonies. He started out gas-lighting her - the wicked man who loved no one except himself. He thought he was number one– that narcissistic sun. He also isolated her. To no one could she ever run except to him – that self-important filthy scum – a narcissistic sun. Her sister said, “No more. No more” and helped her see that she was not to blame for anything. From that brute she had to flee. It wasn’t easy. There were kids, but when he blackened both her eyes and bloodied her, she knew at last she had to cut with him all ties. She got an order of protection, yet she lived in constant fear. He stalked her, and she couldn’t even know whenever he was near. She was his prey, his possession. To see his ex-wife having fun he could not tolerate because he was a tyrant narcissistic sun. One day he followed her to work. She did not have a clue when she stopped to fill her gas tank of what he had planned to do. Gasoline he doused her with. What pain and terror she was forced to feel! That narcissistic sun, so hot with rage, ended up gas-lighting her for real.
