Black Smith

The Birth of Cida

the ticking of my alarm clock
getting louder
Bach was finishing up and
so was I
as I was about to peak, I heard her scream out
a tear scorched from my left eye
and drained into my ear.
I pressed the .45 against my eye socket
and pulled the trigger.




Black Smith is involved in many literary projects, all of which are secret. He is currently awaiting a rejection letter from The Evergreen State College.
