Killer: Emotional ABCs
My killer dance moves
entranced a person wanted
for murder most foul
My killer suit hid
a surprise charged for the bite
a two pronged goodnight
My killer wore black-slacks, boots, tee-shirt, gloves.
Brown hair pulled back in a tail that trailed down
a toned back to a trim waist–no gun love,
no odd bulges, no sign of weapons found.
Beat’s a killer to keep, but I’m chill, my
feet know their steps, need no input, just smiles.
Cops talk in my ear piece, they want a sign
that Lady Death’s come to play at Mile’s.
I’m dead in her sights; she sips scotch on rocks.
Her cold stare declares I’m next; she sucks ice
cubes, her eyes drill bullet holes with the glock
reflected in her eyes, her way to ice
guys who look like her ex, she’s a killer
and she’s gunning for me as a filler.
The beat stutters, stops
bullet to the stereo
people scream and run
I hit the dance floor
breath driven out, fear flattened
Cops chatter too loud
Her dead eyes meet mine
bullet to the head dropped her
Lady Death is gone.

Oh my! Wow! The suspense you built, the double meaning on killer, wow Mel! π These particular lines are haunting:
“My killer suit hid
a surprise charged for the bite
a two pronged goodnight”
Great, as always! π
