Blink
Merry sunbeams dance on dust bunnies
floating - lighter than air
Mickey and Minnie tossed
on the bed.
Mickey in a ball like a newborn,
Minnie looking as rag dolls do.
Fixed faces, vacant eyes like glass buttons
that don’t blink
Playtime’s over.
A stray sunbeam lights on Minnie’s cheek.
Blood spatter dots her face like tiny pin pricks.
Were they playing with paint?
It spilled on the bed, ruined Minnie’s dress
Darkness settles in the cheerful light
Dead.
Silence.
