James Peranteau Poet Narrative

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
