In Red and Blue on Rocks of Acton Dawn – Sonnet Seventy-Two

In red and blue on rocks of Acton dawn  
The bloody splash, the skin in deathly shade.  
The slash across the inner thigh brought on  
A letting that no sand or rock betrayed.  

The body dumped below the 14’s lights,  
A wash off Escondido Canyon Rd.  
The killer leaving nothing at the sight,  
With head and hands removed so nothing showed.  
 
“It’s not the first, I’ve seen this work before,  
This fucker really has his method down.  
He knows the ones that everyone ignores,  
The hungry ones, the girls ‘just got to town.”  
 
In first day's light, red rocks above L.A.,  
A starlet's dream, that sirens bear away.
