The naked father,

Slaughter's his daughter, in her bedroom.

while mother, fastens the ropes,

so that she hangs suspended

Over the mattress.

a blanketed child awaits the calling

while scratching the hardwood with crayola drawings

pictures of daddy and mommy crying.

~

the front door, locked

The windows, black.

the neighbors ask,

but it isn't until weeks later do they discover the family.

Decomposing and slashed.

the news rooms swarm, the question's remain

but father lives forever in national fame
