Guillotine
A sudden change in perspective- you should've just stayed home.
The knife screams forward-
Joy! How last parting lets me
see my body fall
About the Creator
Thomas Speer
I'm a God-fearing tumbleweed of a man, a gentle husband, loving foster parent, screwed up past and amazingly ordained future serving the Lord and expressing his revelation in my writing. Don't expect the dry and sanctimonious, though.
