-For Gabby Petito
‘Leave me in nature, for
Nature is kinder than any man’
But we will take him.
We will drain the last drop of life
From his body, as he did to you.
The colour will leave his eyes
And he will stay here, with us. Never
Free. Alone forever. Restless.
But you we leave to rest in eternal peace.
No animal shall harm your body;
He has already done enough.
We will leave you as you are;
Your soul will remain untouched,
But we will take him.
Though he himself chose death,
We will take his soul from his lips
And the skin that hid a heartless body
Until there is nothing left of him
But bones (the only important
Part of him anyway)
For that is the best apology we can give.
So when they discover you at last,
They will know your heart was beautiful.

Refuse I to believe A Virtuoso
Is also A Most Dreaded Caposo:
The man dealing with us: Hot Petito,
Three times Award-Winning Maestro
In some quarters “Another Castro!”
Cud simply chewing while faking invoice
That would ring true in the falsest voice…
Petito: Just as he big sums deducts
School Children with Heavy Escorts abducts:
Wonderfully Christ’s Fellowship conducts,
A thousand born-again Christians products…
Right now Petito in wished Trinidad
To kidnap Lovely Lorraine, Dog and Dad
