Flick Knife Sunday
The afternoon heat was lancing the skin off the walls
Making lizard ridges humping the horizon with scattered day dreams
Last night’s Chinese food stuck to the seat – buttered MSG dripping with sorrow
His skull ripped back like a shredded roach
The dust of time – celestial jewels of hope
Sprayed with anger she wept : the badge of a lover’s guilt
With broiled fear and the simmering beat of Summer’s kiss she covered his face in a filthy blanket .
The last sound – a muffled scream – amplified cruelty and cotton wads jammed into saliva pockets
Noosed with a chainsaw memory forever yoked to her soul .
