Laced With Arsenic


I suspect you died a slow, painful death in another life

presumably poisoned in your prime

The look was in your eyes when Marsha Mason
took all those people down in that play

Methodical      death       
by    rat   poison

Your soup seems tainted now
Your milk a little sour

You watch me in the kitchen
“Don’t poison me” tripping over your tongue
as you wait for the inevitable

“Not to worry, Baby
I have never been one to waste so much time”


Sandra L. Hazley
