Another postcard killing

bodies concealed in a bag

The end is the beginning

underneath red warning flags

Just a few steps down the beach

near the remnants of sandcastles

Hope and sirens out of reach

far from the news media assholes

Lies remains of the remains

left bare, exposed on salty display

Abandoned in sandy graves

sprawled in appalling array

Wind-chimes sing final farewells

as the flesh and tissue decay

While sea breezes billow and swell

the faintest of notions play

fact or fictionsurreal poetry
