More Than He Deserved
i caught him
breaking in
through the
basement window
no embarrassment
no apology
instead anger
hatred
hostility
the motherfucker
needed to be dead
more than he
deserved to be alive
he belittled my faith
disrespected my culture
violated my security
threatened my family
threatened my life
so i looked him in the eyes
put my hands around his throat
and squeezed
barely aware of his struggle
when it was over
i was disgusted
by the stench
of his shit and piss
as nasty in death as he was in life
needed to be dead
more than he deserved
i slit his throat
like a slaughtered pig
savored
the abstract ness
of blood saturated sand
irritated
as i
cut the body
into parcels
because it would set back
the days work
by an hour or two
what a waste
needed to be dead
more than he deserved
hauled the mess
to the desert
dug a hole threw him in
piece by bloody piece
the coyotes
and ravens will feast
what’s left
will rot into compost
nourish the plants
more productive
in death
