I Love my Mother in law.

Phone rings
Ear stings

Door knocks

Thunder up my shoulders,

"The Payload" 

The payload 
came crashing down
like rain expelled
from the fat belly 
of a ruinous pregnant cloud 
bilious with buxom promise

it came crashing down

Thrown in the castle cells

The living room still and vacant
Darkness engulfing sin completely
Shattered heart beating so rampant

Remaining statuesque, hatred building
Wedding vows casually tossed...
