...They came together, love entwined,
When stars in heaven were aligned.

...She glides out of the room on tiptoe,
As graceful as a sinuous ballet,
Sliding past sad memories that flow,
Staring, scowling eyes upon her still prey.

Finding Esther Mae

...Esther sings 
Through an overbite smile 
Each quivering note 
Cut
Into precious stones

...Murk Rammer froze as he felt the nuzzle
of a snub-nosed thirty-eight’s deadly muzzle.
