His jaw is tipped floor-ward
Grazed fingers grip the table
He knows this interrogation
Isn’t going to go well
They’ve been buzzing about the truth
For an hour and a half
Regardless the detective knows
He smells
His car is a shuttle to and from
the dumping ground
And it is so late now
So unimportantly late
Take a look at this, he says
This sweet angel’s face
She didn’t harm a fly,
She couldn’t buy a drink
She had every opportunity
In this world // and here You come

Thank you Tom! A movie, “The Devil All The Time” on Netflix inspired this 😊 although a scene like this is nowhere to be found in it 😅

Already watched it – such a fascinating movie! Great inspiration 🙂
Same here – some of my recent fantasy stories were inspired by Netflix’s Castlevania, well worth watching too!
