Above the Chipmunks hole.

run run from this fright

run run into the night.

fast fast as the gingerbread can

fast fast for silence slays when still.

God’s eyes in the hills

are sworn into secrecy by the trees

and finds those who flee.

please! PLEASE!

he pleads

as the dagger of death swipes across his throat

and splatters blood into the chipmunks hole

the leafy buds on the trees

drip red on to the homes

of the baleful bees

Down one falls with a face of horror

arms out stretched to a lord no closer.

An angles cold shoulder turns on a soul

that can burn and sit in an urn.

nothing yet changes

and nothing is yet known

of the blood

that is sprayed at a twenty past two

until the next day comes

when the gray body is found

by a runner stomach is undone

his life is changed

from the abhorrence

which could not be

un-seen, un-lived, un-viewed.

the breath of death

wretches his lungs

as he heaves up chunks

right at his nike feet

the vile newly meets

the moss green stones.

two ticks away

from the chipmunks hole

right below the baleful bees home

among the buds

crusted with blood.
