Murder (Free verse) by Enkidu
There some matter
Here a limb
You were his Lady
Proper
Prim
And in that fatal moment's Cries
A curséd name
Releases
Dies
But why
Unlike the others past
When death was painless
Noble
Fast
Did such a body come to rest
In pieces
Tattered
Poorly dressed?
How should warm October greet
A body strewn and incomplete
Upon a hill
Dispersed
Unfound
Where breath so heaves
And footsteps pound?
Under shadows
Fall of night
The killer 'scapes the closing light
Hint of unforgiving
Blood
Wraps the stranger
Streaked with mud
If there dares
A soul to creep
In glades of green
Abysmal
Deep
They may find
What light may show
Where after Demons
Angels go
