The Music of Conscience

The Music of Conscience

A 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.
