Hiding For Cover

… the mentality of a killer
who's verbosity is explained appropriately
and poetically-just and
defended like Psalms
of songs one must know & see,
songs that one must trust and…

Her mentality changed naught thee
and the inherent
calm of the juror: your own peers
peeking into the essence
of your unmoved conscience
and seeing the fear that
resides in your very own eye;
your heart none the wiser, for
you believe your own lies.

Katrina. She never cared.
(She of omnipotent fury –
an unclaimed & touched Lady
of Mother’s brothel… She was
mad.)

She has no immediate prejudice, for
her rampage doesn’t discriminate.
She has no completed pathway, for
her anger is of a history unexplained…

Mentality of the killer?
Perhaps… Perhaps
she is the unrecognized tour d’ force
purging the ultimate silence
with her strong, unrequited & loud
voice.
