Sex and Murder Magazine

By David S. Pointer

Just as the patient's body cooled
on the night's cold concrete

just as the military tank table lighter
stood by for questioning and prints

just as the car mechanic perp climbed
under the lime-marinated skirt steak

just as Isabella, a third-shirt cop climbed
under the table and cuffed the perp

She got a call to Corn Knife Road

-------Where the victim's
-------blood dripped
-------down a mirror
-------like a slaughter-
-------house rain slicker
