50's Crime Kills Us All
Folder:
The Drabble Ditch His name- Jack or Johnny or Cliff
shattered sewer fog.
A tip of the hat
and warehouse walls dripped thick warm paint.
His coat, his smile, his anger
was a flashlight in the night.
He touches her arm and her lungs flare.
Her name- Marguerite or Judy or Grace
oozed red and glowed like a wailing angel
Looks up and he forgets it all.
Revenge, Retribution, Resurrection
It's penance for him and pleasure for her.
They'll survive
And we, as an audience,
Hope for a monster to fill our empty selves.
