50 Words For Poe: Cicero
"50 Words for Poe: Cicero"
On reflection
she should have used
Capone’s colt .38
which had been offered ...
at a price,
but the knife did
the trick just the same
She used it more than twice
Straight through
the Heart
of our anti-hero
in Room 101
Hotel Cicero
Weapon of Choice: 6 inch Italian Stiletto
Instead of Alcatraz
she found herself
haunting Asylum 666
doin’ ghost time from an early grave
counting skeleton bones and
playing marbles for sticks
She was now pleading her case
Dr Lucifer knew her game
Yes indeed, he understood
Life was a trick
