Murder Scene Poem by Bryan Riley

Implements of a Murder:
The smoking gun,
the silken rope, and
other cliches
Watching a play
in which murder is
the motive for
carrying on w/
all manner of
bad behavior

A dinner party
where red wine is
served in crystal
glasses- light
caught within the
reddened spheres,
Casting the color
of the wine in
wide ovals
on the floor

The wine appearing
later in the part of
Bloodstains on the Carpet:
justifying its existence as
'Incriminating Evidence'
