9 To ?

Three little bodies
of three little strangers
that looked like
three best friends
posed with a
slump poise
next to an open 
cylindrical
garbage container
that had it lid
kneeling against
the feet 
of the can
and weeping sadness
fine drenching mist
of red tears.

Red tears
shaped like crosses
that bear
inscriptions 
into the infinites
of victims,
who’ve splashed
their own mist 
of redness 
Against their wills
in factories
fields
and as 
probing objects.

It won’t be long
till
three little interviews 
will commence
for this position.
