"Spilled Milk"

by Jeph Johnson

 

I lap it up
Almost aroused;
Feline in my fury,
Nearly blinded by the whiteness.
-
My eyes are closed,
Dreaming of an ending
To these episodes of splattered horror
-
Why not graphic bloodstains?
-
Only serene innocence
Explodes for me to taste.
-
I've inhaled mountain breezes
more disturbing
than my perception of this crime.
