Crime of passion

Claret mist, sanguine fluid,
the vital principle,
Sprouting forth it's origin,
a gash from ear to ear.

Elemental life force dribbling
From an ice cold blade.
Her clothing sodden with regret.
Hands are puce and trembling .

eyes wide with consternation
recumbent cadaver, treacherous spouse    
Slut, bitch, whore, lover hugging
Herself upon the floor
