Momentarily, I had your trust;
Your spasms of death were dying.
A blunt, bloodied head
Rested on my fingertips;
A soft, vulnerable body
Pulsed upon my palm;
The coiled whip of a tail
Slapped against my wrist.
Your one good eye did not recognize
The reaper in me
As I laid you on the ground.
It took one blow to end your misery,
Another to open mine.
