Murder On a Perfect Day
"Murder on a Perfect Day"
Murdering the main
instigator that
metaphor perpetrator
pulls the trigger
this is the way
a perfect day begins
scattered on the wall
blood of black ink
light and dark
fleshy matters
words like bullets
penetrating thick brain
thin skin of heart heard
incessant chatter
on the floor
the carpet like a hill
covers dead bodies
their pockets full of
swept under things
still moving
the devil's in the details
when you're born again
rattlesnakes
ready for the kill
(LadyLabyrinth / 2023)
