Poetry Corner: “Good Shot”

Good shot

Writhing in misery
a
Niagara Falls of blood
a companion of the dead fall leaves
supplanting cellophaned beef
for 3.2 families

the busy executives of death
blind to the forces of nature
Place carcasses on top of cars
and parade homewards
to continue the same
on Monday morning
