Read Poem: MADMAN, by Sanjini Bhakta

Escaped.
Midnight.
Emotions accelerate.
He plunges dagger,
Cracks open,
Small tributaries meet at nose,
Then flow to delta mouth.

Hammer knocks.
Body Flops,
Distorted.

Thick black rope
Decreases neck circumference
Eyes bulge.

Revolver –
Aims towards prey.
Piercing Scream.
Hole in heart.

In lair
Targets displayed.
Intestines garland heads
Walls drowned in red.
Work finished.

Feasts voraciously.
Burps.
Sleeps silently.
Owl hoots.
