A Perfect Murder
What is a perfect murder?
Is it a ruthless killing?
A killing where the red blinds you?
Sinuses filled with blood and gore?
A world painted crimson?
Sinuew and cracking bone?
Or..
Is it loud?
Screams which tear through then night?
Screams which break the wine glasses?
A spiderwebbing crack?
Or…
Is it a quiet death?
Premeditated and stealthy?
A slightly cloudy scotch on the rocks?
Peacefully passed “in sleep”?
Is it a case where a trail of breadcrumbs is left for detectives?
Or…
Has every thing been bleached? Disposed of? Not a fingerprint to be found?
Is it a killing in self defense?
Or..
Is it just for the sake of cruelty?
Would it be a killing where the suspect is caught? Tried?
Or..
Would the suspect be left on the run?
Would the case go cold?
Is there such a thing as a perfect murder?
Should there be?
