(Villanelle)
Can't you hear it?
I don't think it's the sink.
There it is! After the ripping?
I feel my mind gripping,
but I cannot find the link.
Can't you hear the dripping?
My mind is tired of running
I've wracked my brain trying to think.
There it is! After the ripping!
In circles my mind is tripping
round and round like I've had one too many mixed drinks.
Can't you hear the dripping?
Her blood is quickly pooling
her clothes are stained a dark, ominous pink.
There it is! After the ripping!
Now you see what I've been saying.
I'm not as crazy as you think.
Can't you hear the dripping?
There it is! After the ripping!
