the blood leaks through the parted lips of a smile
staining the teeth red, blood red. through the corners
and the creases, all his words, lies in pieces.
drawn by a curse, greed and wealth, undying life.
where will it end, it'll stop when his body
is cold and drawn, tight like a baby. irony, faceted
irony, complicated and quite expected. dripping
across the floor, foaming at the mouth, his mind
but a mesh, keeping it all together. deadbolts
in his mind, closing the door to the tonic.
a dangerous cocktail of truth and justice.
bring him to justice. or lose it all. lose it all.
the blood drips across the ground and lays in a pile.

i slip in the pile,
unable to escape from
the dark red smile
of a complicated mind
thinking a minute a mile.
