Thought About Murder
Rain falling
Wind blowing
Snug under the duvet
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping
Thought about murder
Had no motive; no reason
Needed not an opportunity; nor means
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping
My feet were warm
My bladder was empty
The alarm clock was set
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping
Just a thought; about murder
A thought about a perfect murder
Thought about appearances, juries and judges
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping
I wasn’t ill-intentioned
No wrongs on my mind
Snug under the duvet
Four heartbeats and just a moment from sleeping
Thought about the election
Character assassination
Losing gratitude
Suddenly sleepless; under the duvet
