Bullet Holes and Screen Doors
Bullet holes and screen doors and corpses
should not go
together
according to recent neighborhood shootings
they do
barrettes and hair ties and blood
should not go
together
according to incidents of domestic
violence
they do
in rooms
abandoned
slender teenage arms
heroin needles
ice cold blue
skin
should not go
all these things should not go
together
sadly tragic
they do
sadly tragic
we gasp
we gloss over
we pass by
uncertain what to do
we move on
