Lovette Carter

spot change...
a leopard’s
bloodbath

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

a bull’s eye
dead
on the red

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

sealed letter
he pours out
his guts to her

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

not quilty–
they find ways
to skin a cat

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

calling
the last REM
blood moon

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

last downpour 
a murder of crows
silently dripping

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

discovering
the black boots
now red

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

autumn chill–
he silently lifts
a deadhead

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

reflecting on
the night before–
glass shards

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

buried alone
                             the ax

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

yellow caution tape
deep in the forest
still untouched

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

a few trees
the length of a cry
in a bird’s nest

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

quiet snow 
the wolves make it hard
to fall

— Lovette Carter

Lovette Carter

stained glass
the sweat of His brow
in red

— Lovette Carter
