the knot was tight
it closed around me
the emptiness
the crime, grave
the penalty, harsh
spoken in a moment
contemplated over time
the sentence was swift
the plea, over-ruled
the cell was cold
questions of heart and head
made no sense
the heart seemed alive
the head, dead
the dawn was slow
there weren't any pieces to pick up
the water was tepid
the shower, rapid
contemplation with the car keys...
u-turns made
and made again
the aimless drive
early morning sunlight
the door opened
She knew...
clasped to Her bosom
my tears seemed to flow
She wouldn't cry
She couldn't
She had to be strong
that tenderness was so poignant
it hurt even more...
i left
living, but felt dead.
