I.
Wary daughter heeds
maternal admonition
against her judgment.

II.
Inner monologue:

III.
Reels in disbelief
at creep-o shrine’s unveiling.

IV.
Run! Do not pass go.
Sorry mom, did all I could-
stops dead in her tracks.

V.
Paralyzing sight:
worn black leather, blood-smeared mouth,
nemesis returned.
