from the lady
who didn't give up.

firewood biting the
newspaper of july,
the suburban scents are
haunted with a nefarious crime,
everyone knows but
no body speaks their mind,
they lock their houses
sharp at 7'05 every single night,
cause the headlines of the day goes :

trust no other; not even a neighbor,
if the windows shutter,
it's not the wind or a waver,
tiptoe to your bedroom as
fast as you can, breath low or
they'll hear you faintly pant,
dial a number that could save you,
try to become as lifeless as a statue,
make one noise,
they will come to catch you.

the sirens were behind the clock,
they caught a glimpse of your face, because the curtains had
swayed the deadliest way,
the police was a moment too late,
they looked at you and smiled;
a cheshire vice, teeth broken
and sullen eyes,
they came a step close, murderers greeting you from your window.

you take a step behind,
chills trickling down your spine,
they speak blather about their lives;
a haunting moonlight
glistening their knife,
is this it? is this how you die?
you wonder; and
they're assured you might,
prideful credence was just your vex,
you thought just before you stabbed  skewers in their chests—

screams had never
sounded more relieving before,
the police had finally
broken in your front door,
serial killers lay bleeding
on your wooden floor,
the town can finally
sleep in peace once more,
and you became an
exemplar of suburban lores.
