Heart attack

for MVR, 1968-2011.

Wormy apple.

Balled fist, fingers going white,
bloody marks on your palm –
suckerpunch.

Meat on a plate,
spoiling.

Fussy dud.
To be disposed of.
Red/blue wires crossed.

House
on fire.

Rotten egg and the hand cupping it
and the arm pitching it.

Bloody handful.

Jack in the box
with a bent lid. Its jaunty tune.

Fine print.

Boy in the closet
with a gun.
