Homicide: a cardboard box
brims with yellow crime scene notes.
The box is marked with a Sharpie
and mumbles when alone.
Perp scrubbed the blood
away in '82, the subsequent
shrine of flowers, teddy bears
and snapshots now unremembered.
Golden shield on the desk nearby,
Black Label in the bottom drawer.
The skyline seen out this window
is a shadowed casket of souls like jewels.
