A poem a day keeps the cobwebs off my keyboard.

Distant Alibis
Lovely face, she stood
shimmering light, candle
lit the night
Lovely face, a prisoner
dancing in the desert
my mission heavy
your alibis distanced
the wine running
Lovely place
sweet summer
voices of the spirits
calling the feast
they say
dance for the beast
Myself steely, cool
sight dimmed
mirrored knives surprise
the master
just relax for the kill
