Glorious Assassin
by Alexis Child

Buried in sand, a solitary rosy finger protrudes
Come to my embrace
The dull eyes of the shark rolled back at the
sight of lustful sacrifice

Waves roll past the grave of the unknown poet
Sinking for envisioning
The body mortifies
For dreaming of heights above

Languid, helpless; but most certainly fantasizing
The pitiful bard sings a song of love-in it makes it die
"Improve!" cried the keeper of Venus
Hope for you is an Opium Den

What motive did the writer have in its arm?
To dominate with masculine cold abandon?
To be crushed against anvil-like breasts?
The situation exposed heartbroken motives

She was hunted, never to be found

No death was ever known with such disregard
