Deep in the thicket
A truculent murder ensues.
Hemorrhaging ideas;
Suffocated thinking;
Creative surrender
The victim lived
a moribund existence,
a series of insouciant performances
opulent stages, inimical audiences
the same vacuous script in perpetuity.
Life without an apogee
You experience death twice:
The first is
corporal
