Gunshot Wound to the Sky

By monalisamarie

Dance steps to blood splatter
Recreate murder
(Homecide is a ballet)

You see, a knife today
Is much more palatable than
This smile bandaged frown

Sky infected and pouring down
Acid blood, it turns gan-green
That you cannot see at night

And in the mourning
Exhales sickly fumes from her lungs
Earth is dying

From a gunshot wound to the sky
