THE BLACK BIRD

(excerpt)
cairo steps into spade’s office


smile lisp’d
voice.......arrogant servitude
eyes pleading for the last rites
face crawling with expression
....................like an overturned moon
spade stared at the little man
as if he were staring into nothingness.
raised his hand.
lowered cairo gently
..................into unconsciousness.
