Annals of innocence: Wrong, wrong!
His keyboard has doubts. Pieces of clouds here and there
The speed of typing is negotiating, haggling with errors.
Errors in their cryptic tongue speaks and whispers to him
who shakes his head to sweep the blasphemous words off his ears.
Still he, the typist of this local court, typing an order,
a dictum, a thread of reasoning behind the sentence of death,
feels the wrong, - deepening its roots in his fingers, in the keys
in the words of the verdict, in the trembling senses, in mind.
He of all knows the Hon’ble Justice can never be right.
The man has not killed.
He knows.
Because before he has thrown the knife
into a pond with spring all over its water
rippling in expectation;
before he has mopped the fingerprints;
before he has carefully laid her body,- still quivering
it has been
he
who has shoved the death in her body.

Since I’m in the middle of Finals week, I hate to admit, but I must give in to the temptation of leaving a generic comment
But to give it a little personal touch, I added some artwork for you to enjoy!

Thank you for posting this to The Surreal Circus.
Something told me to click your link first out of the hundreds on my inbox, my alleged mind did good!
Which re-minds me, have you signed on yet for my "Donate Some Branes to Glenn Club"?
Just a couple grams of your grey matter can mean the difference between me yammering on into Eternity, or becomming the Great Writer my Mother told everyone I was supposed to be.
So do it for Love, do it for our Human Race, and...sniff HONKKK...do it for Mothers everywhere!
Still, Ann and Chuck make a compelling case!
Kushal, your spirit brother loved this one. Y'know, if they ever find them skeletons in my closet, I want you to represent me, okay? A Defense in prose and Closing Arguments in Verse.
Compelling Poetic Piece !
This would make a great plot for a law thriller.
Congrats one being MOTD for Comment As You Please for 4/29/09
