in one swift motion

in
one swift
motion a
bloody knife falls on
the floor, life escaping freely
flows out leaving you
with a hush
stop
quiet
nothing
not a word
you need to quit that
blabbering and stop the crying
no more complaining
muffle your
screams
by
stuffing
your mouth or
putting a plastic
bag over your head
or do I slice your throat in a
funny little way
like a grin
from ear
to ear
no
more
screams to
hear dropping
the knife on the floor,
I step back, admire my mess
where chaos collides
with beauty
in
a
deadly
kiss, playing
wistfully off the
whole idea that she is dead, still
a masterpiece
without or
with her
head
