• COMMON SENSES
    by UC Poika


    the ace of hearts
    floats in the drain
    the washer used,

    around the sides
    polyurethane?
    a rope cut apart
    where once a noose
    never was denied

    but within the imprint
    the victim’s body left
    for a glad bag or a hefty,
    the suicide was a cinch
    except the patient lived
    her common senses revived!
