Murder

Murder

The prowler was spotted
in the neighborhood stalking others,
but our turn arrived. Nights dilated
and became frigid, growing icicles
as potential murder weapons.

Death stole to our home on stilts,
peered through our frosted bedroom
window and observed that kisses
leave tiny bruises which amass until
the kissing ceases. The slayer saw
that we went to bed silent,
slept dreamless, not conscious
of how to love without killing
one another. Inviting death
into the house that night offered
autonomy, a nascent leaf in life,
an algal bloom of possibilities.

By late next morning, authorities
dragged the pond behind the house
and discovered the missing bodies
of our violated wedding vows.

Murder

The usual suspect was spotted
in the neighborhood coming for others,
but our turn had come. Nights dilated
and became frigid, growing icicles
as potential murder weapons.

Death came to our home on stilts,
peered through our frosted bedroom
window and saw that kisses
leave tiny bruises which amass
until the kissing ceases,
that we went to bed silent,
slept dreamless, unconscious
of how to love without killing
one another. Inviting death
into the house that night offered
autonomy, a nascent leaf in life,
an algal bloom of possibilities.

By late next morning, authorities
dragged the pond behind the house
and discovered the missing bodies

of our hollow wedding vows.

Murder

The suspect
had been spotted
around the neighborhood
coming for others,
but it was our time,
our season, with the nights busy
dilating, becoming frigid, growing icicles
as potential murder weapons.

Death came to our home
on stilts, peered through
our frosted bedroom
window and saw: that kisses
leave tiny bruises which amass
until the kissing stops;
that we went to bed
in mute silence, slept dreamless;
that we were not conscious
of how to love without killing
each other in the process.

Inviting death into our home
offered autonomy, a nascent leaf in life,
an algal bloom of possibilities.

Foul play
was uncovered late morning
when authorities dragged the pond
behind the house and discovered
the missing bodies

of our hollow wedding vows.

Murder

The suspect
had been spotted
around the neighborhood in the past
coming for others,
but it was our season now.
Nights were busy
dilating, growing icicles
as perfect murder weapons.

Death came to our home
on stilts, peered through
our frosted bedroom
window and saw: that kisses
leave tiny bruises which amass
until the kissing stops;
that we went to bed
in mute silence, slept dreamless;
that we were not conscious
of how to love without killing
ourselves in the process. Death offered
autonomy, a nascent leaf,
an algal bloom of possibilities.

Foul play
was eventually uncovered
in late morning when authorities
dragged the pond
behind the house and discovered
the missing bodies

of our hollow wedding vows.
