Murder Suicide

You’re so cute and silly
pointing the gun at my head

the melting ice caps
and their soggy ideas advance relentlessly

you kick your panties across the room
with your feet

you once saw your daddy
screwing your mommy’s sister

startled by a foghorn
they jumped out of bed

your aunt’s titties
flapped like wings

your daddy’s knighthood
put on hold

your twenty favorite Neruda poems
walk out to sea

the lyrics bubble
rise and pop in your hand
