writer, book reviewer, daydreamer
Books in court,
their words binding the defendant
to the table
wrapping the air with motive,
mystery,
evidence that is pure fiction,
until the jury
stands up and reads
aloud.
The books fall down
blown away,
scattered, pages billowing
like petticoats
in a stiff morning breeze.
The darkness rides the waves of sweat
hidden deep under the layers
resting against your neck.
The building cold, a stir of breath,
the air tingles with impatience
while anxiety threatens the grievous theft.
A cold stone slab presents itself,
a shuffle of feet, tipping the balance
forward as the clock hits twelve.
Visions are strong in this line of work,
hands beckon from beneath
where the bodies quietly lurk.
Quiet now, quiet, they surely whisper
remember the promise you made
with your dying younger sister.
The darkness rides the waves of sweat
hidden deep under the layers
resting against your neck.
