The Killer’s Brain

by Cosmic Poet Simon Pole

Arid is the killer’s brain,
Like a desert without rain,
Where the lidless sunlight glares
On the brittle breezeless air.

On the lawless streets he hunts,
An animal, for whom grunts
Of anger affection be,
And music is agony.

A strange, starvèd place it is,
The rented room that is…
