It's Just a Little Thing (A Poem)


It's Just a Little Thing 

She stood by the door leg bent 
Her hair was let down loose 
Her morals where locked up 
and her smile was evilly divine 

She took out a silvery blade
Lit a cigarette and laughed
A highball at the bedside table 
and a little gasoline on the bed 

The fire it roared and crackled 
as did the whiskey inside me 
and her body across my side 
and the knife inside my hand 

The red warmth invigorated 
As she lay in my steady hands 
and she closed her lovely eyes 
to take tomorrows nap everyday 

The scoundrels die most beautifully 
and revenge is a dish best served 
with a slice of meat and fire water
to keep ones stomach steady and full 

and so I killed my whorish woman 
and dumped her body in his bed 
I lit a smoke and sparkled some gas
and burned her corpse in his home 

So let us take a drink and celebrate 
the deaths foretold by the scholars 
and the lives forgotten by the public 
and the stories remember by the old
