Suburban Juggernaut
Your blood erupts. Skin
and skull shatter
– a fatty mist.
Women poised ready for battle, now
broken and gathered under a wheel.
Suburban scandal, small
-town gossip:
murder-suicide leaves two dead, one injured.
Old taste of metal on my tongue,
grey smear in my hand.
Your smiling teeth a necklace
choking me while I sleep.
