Here’s a poem fitting for this day:

The victim, who tried to run away
Lay in parts, just outside the doorway
On the porch
Between the two front windows
At the exact center of the cleft
Of the whole house cut in two.

Not far off
In nearby trees, you could see
A large arm, still brandishing an immense axe–
And peering back
The satisfied
Assassin’s eye.

Ooooh - that’s real spooky, eh? This, and more spooky poems by Michael Benedikt can be found here.
