Her Husband's Wrath
.
With prudence I stepped
in the candle lit room
yes
with the utmost discretion
and yes
there she was
without the layer to cover
her pink flesh
How prudent could I have been
with knowledge of her whim
a soul did ask
“Oh"
says i
unclad before him
“an entry with facts supersedes
an entry of chance”
That bullet stung
