Death By Murder

In a cold dark alley where deep shadows move And an owl, large eyes stares and woos When the silence is broken by a primal scream That pierces the soul and shatters your dream Once more a silence and then a thud Something falling into the mud Another scream that rips through the air A sound so searing, so raw and so bare A silver moon gliding between the clouds Illuminating all that the darkness shrouds A river of crimson on pebbled walk A flower head lying without a stalk A deathly white hand from the mud reaches And glazed dead eyes there so beseeches A pain terror expression upon this face No longer a part of the human race
