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
