DEVOTEE

Discovered by the Super 8 Motel maid
laying on his back spread eagle
wearing a full-length gown of red sequins
with plunging neckline
clinging tightly to his all masculine frame
blood soaked sheets
are of a slightly darker shade of crimson

Tips of his page-boy blond wig
frame the long, ragged gash across his jugular
eyes closed with lips forming a serene smile
MP3 player lays on his hairy chest
feeding his earbuds with David Bowie's "Fashion"
on continuous loop

Suicide is assumed
however no weapon is found
the bed is made
no other belongings in the room
save a Waterford crystal decanter
nearly empty, on the nightstand
Kentucky bourbon
deduces the discerning detective
fast melting ice in a motel plastic cup
stained with black lipstick sits alongside

“Witchcraft is to blame”
scrawled in adobe clay mud
on the bathroom mirror
when did he check in?
