Church Street Is Burning

(excerpt)
Church Street #12
.
Murder on the avenue
cop car yellow screech………..lawn order
stop
across from the body rub……. shop
………………………………………..street level flat
bars on the window…………….torso
………………………………………..greek statue
stuff’d in the refrigerator………………. the door wouldn’t close
………………………………………………….. burnt out bulb.
.
Her legs were found spread apart
one across from LOBLAWS…one behind DOMINION
her arms were found hanging from the legion hall
her fingers stuff’d……………….in an empty gin bottle
her head was never found…….a bust.
.
One of the winos said he saw her head hanging on a tree limb.
It stared straight through him before
it flew off into the night.
