Mutedly:
‘God,
Why?’

the sheets in disarray
my mouth was full of Trump
so there was nothing I could say...

red petal flowers
muddled,
red petal
flowers
bright
and dried,
using
the paint
from
her veins.

when all laws have been
abolished
one could be arrested and
punished for anything
there will no difference
between the innocent
and the guilty
and the gallows will
sing

video of Molly on
her motorcycle
which brought
back such fond
memories they
shared before
the accident.

Honest, Guys! It Was An Accident!
After we found Dad
shot in a near vacant lot,
he reached up to touch my hand.
And after he died,
young Cody Maguire walked up
with his grandfather's shotgun.
