Kill It

Sound
Screams
Fear
postpone charlatan reactions to justice
leaping into disastrous victory
lies; even the good ones that create a vortex of honey
in the pit of your stomach when the getaway is Scott Free
Mister Miracle no longer in publication

Insincere kisses
triumph over Life – that dastardly form of “settle” we
snuggle, comfortable, indolent

Phantom joy – seek out new corners to breathe into
A fist designed for murder instead of clenching
a bouquet of belief applied to healing
scorched earth
Never saying farewell when distance wins for a while
