Dance steps to blood splatter
Recreate murder
(Homecide is a ballet)
You see, a knife today
Is much more palatable than
This smile bandaged frown
Sky infected and pouring down
Acid blood, it turns gan-green
That you cannot see at night
And in the mourning
Exhales sickly fumes from her lungs
Earth is dying
From a gunshot wound to the sky
