Day Six

Glass upon glass.

Shattered and ground

Into a powder so fine

It will seep into his veins.

She takes special care not to cut herself as

She spreads the deadly dust upon his side of the bed.

He enters the room.

Sheds his clothes,

And gives her a kiss.

He tastes of Her.

He smells of Her.

Settling into bed, he turns off the light.

In the dark, she smiles.

You know what they say about a woman scorned?

They don't know the half of it.
