14 going on 15 years
free from a one-man cell
along Writer's Block #6
served under
the U.S. Constitution
Bill of Rights
damned by Martial Law
sentenced for being
a Word Assasin

I shot bullets
drove a stake through hearts
torn apart with my bare hands
set on fire to watch them burn free
spread into the open air
as innocent bystanders
inhale
consume
digest
their radiance

Desire tempts the heart
beating
circulating
blood-thirst for a word
stalked through the night
taken hostage at penpoint
as I lick my lips
and move in
for the kill.
