77

Lately tesselating thoughts 
grin unnaturally
at mental gates wide open 
to the mosaic of evil.
Is there ever a Requiem 
that can sate the abyss 
that craves a Requiem?
An Amazonian Gardener
for Death Valley,
their own self a Valley of Death?

Black coffee meltdown
walking down the street.
The 100-year-old bell chimes 11 times,
and I cross my fingers.

Her email was 77.
