The Body

The cops were at the scene,
      following the trail of blood
      left from the body where it  
      had been dragged, bouncing
      over the garbage and rubble .

    Enclosed in a dark,
      dank alley, her body
      had been found.  A smile
      carved into her pale
      flesh.  The letter,
      written with her blood,
      mocked the authorities.

    With gruesome detail,
      the killer began to
      explain the depth of
      the pain the victim
      had gone through,
      with the promise of
      more pain for the
      next.

    Rain began to fall
      as the heavens wept.
      This victim, at least,
      was out of the reach
      of pain, but what of
      the next?
