Lenola prays with a stiletto (Free verse) by SupremeDreamer
Midnight creeps while Lenola quivers
engulfed in the devils breath
sulphurous and keen.
Despite confessions
and well-thumbed rosary,
she remains squalid-
eyeing her husbands stiletto.
She quivers in odium;
forsaken- guilt gnaws her senses
as she begins to realize
that Jesus's magic
has long been depleted.
Her discarded rosary
remains on the last pew
alongside her silver cross necklace.
The jeweled hilt
held in her hands
instilled serenity.
The blade replaced god
as she drove it deep
into the priest-
elated by his blood
savagely spilt upon her skin.
Murder with a jeweled stiletto
became her salvation.
