"Spread starkly, wrists for rubbing,
Fingers for twisting blades of grass,
Fingernails slightly askew"

The guard dog’s food with some rich
Vein of quiet"

I can’t say how he’d placed his hands
Just before the flat-lining of his heart."

When I was brought to her bedside, with her black hair disheveled and her mesmerizing, Fury-like black eyes tense with emotion, she pulled me to her, held me in an iron grip, refusing to let go."
