April is Poetry Month, so every Sunday this month we will be featuring a poem about crime from Gerald So's 5-2 blog. This week's poem is called Her Beheading and it was written by Anne Graue.
HER BEHEADING
sordid garments laced
with brazen-faced
dishonesty
her convicted eye
her heart
her little neck
she shed her self
the germ of her
on peaceful knees
her folded hands
on white ermine
the red skirt
her throated falcon
ladies waiting
a crucifix for her waist
her gaze
a disturbance then
the gleaming descent
