They assured me
the 15 inch blunt
fingerprint- free knife
was wielded
with the stealth element
of surprise
in the midst of a normal
Sunday afternoon
behind a closed office door
he never knew
what happened
just dropped down
and died
my normal world
replaced by
a true life horror tale
my knees
sparred with gravity
while this anvil of sadness
squashed my heart
wobbling legs drove me
mercilessly to his
serene good bye face
on a rolling table
with a sheet
up to
his neck.

The day I had to identify him for cremation. It was him, but it wasn't.The second hardest day of my life to date.
