Brandy Megens Poet I do not know?

I Followed My Instincts

INITIAL SHOCK
                                   
               SANCTUM
   
                          HUNGER TO RAGE
her carotd pulse was beating slow and steady
walking in place amongst the crowd

CONCENTRATION
                      she slipped into inert silence

money and trouble           to a casual observer

a human knot closed around her  PROTECTIVELY

THEY KEPT LOOKING AT HER EVEN WHEN SHE RAN AWAY

its possible their CONFABULATING-wishful thinking hoping to make it out alive

suicide after a PROTRACTED ILLNESS
                                                  left all alone to survive
 
                          LIABILITY
DENIED
