Ends

ends in a parking lot, alone with a scream. his finger’s still on the trigger. crimson shield with the pulse of a coward. the inkblot rug a psychotic freeze to be analyzed. the rigor mortis statue, placed in hell’s museum — an unmarked grave, no love could save. victims of violence brought back to life, at the Creator’s command. He holds their hands. cerulean sky in open eyes. thankful hearts satisfied. 3/21/2018
