Crime Scene

(Written 20 May 2026 at 9:45 pm.)

My body feels like a crime scene
The kind at which experienced detectives on TV say to each other,
“It’s bad in there”

The blood spatter evidence is a mess
It’s on fabric 
And on furniture
And you can’t tell which streams are from the commission of the crime
And which drops are from moving stuff around later

There are questions as to the victim
There is no whole body waiting to be identified 
Though those clots look a lot like concentrated units of flesh torn asunder

Certainly, in this carnage,
Someone or something has died

Which part of me has gone into those nether shadows
Waiting to be mourned?
