The chambermaid was seen above spinning reel shot on her head
Clutching pen as murder weapon the ink drained to the floor
Her lips were bleeding blue her hands were covered too
"Out! Out! Damned spot" she cried as the clock struck one a.m.

as I awoke I screamed…

ten million tiny stab wounds lay bare upon my legs
ink spots filled my eyes from staring at the light
and pouring from my hands, the fluid that wrote this tale
I ripped each tiny word up but still to no avail

I could not save her… she did the time for me

Hey Walt!
Always good to read your work my friend.
Did you overdose on playing clue??
To no avail I ask these questions I guess, but I was wondering...I do that  reading your work sometimes (always) That's what makes it such a pleasure!!
Nice picture!
