The Music of ConscienceA Poem by RL Valdez
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
Eyes' rolling, hair's flipping, try ignoring. Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock... Stilettos' flicking in fancy clicks, snobbish. Rhythm sways with the chick's feet Flip-flop, flip-flip-flop-flop... And the ruffled edges swaying Hey-hey-sway-and-sway-hey! The waltz of escapade and remorse From the death of future past Dance the beat of dug-dug-dug... With your plan of quiet evasion. Sigh! Then continue inhaling, exhaling. Belch the crime committed so fast, Run from the just and humane like, Remember, she died by your knife. The wind rewinds to chill you out And the night shivers you off your skin As the haunted conscience plays it loud The minute you struck her chest so hard. And you remember again, it is your knife. It's your own knife that cut her heart. Tear it precisely into one millimeter size And pulverize each piece with your tender touch. In detailed and loaded with treacherous words, The tearing of her heart is written in piece So neatly, flowery, and ingeniously created You write it with your plume and with her blood. Then, the harmony of the music floating in the air Urged profoundly within your audio senses And all the dug-dug-dug of nervousness Made your feet waltz into the gate of hell. 20170125
