the Killer in Repose

John Grey

He’s sitting silently on the couch,
one unintended slight away
from grabbing a kitchen knife,
a hammer, a pan of boiling way,
and stabbing, battering,
scalding the skin off his father.

The old man is one wrong word
from toppling from his favorite chair,
struggling to stem the flow of blood
from his chest with crimson hands
or salve the bashed in skull
or writhing on the floor in a blistering hell-fire.

Every home harbors a killer, a victim.
But, thankfully, all of the slights are intended,
all of the words are right.
