Challenge
One Word
What's your favorite word and why?
eviscerated
a beautiful word for an ugly death,
spilling from my mouth like
blood from an open wound
written on the page like
entrails decorating the floor
each syllable is a promise
of violence yet to come
each syllable is a body
waiting to be found by the cops.
and it sounds really nice
when i whisper it under my breath
wondering when they will notice
my fingerprints at the crime scene.
it sounds like a victory
because every day i say it
is another day that i've evaded
capture.
