Blood is still oozing out from the deep slit… <br />A sheaved hand, <br />Few gapping mouth, <br />There was a blast here… <br />A duty-bound reporter mutters <br />Live on the camera… <br />Blood is pouring out… <br />The lines have their place <br />In each and every copy- <br />-Of Julius Caesar… <br />A wife has seen the nightmare… <br />Nothing new to talk about… <br />Many such unheard wives have seen such dreams <br />Night after night <br />Some before the death of their husbands and children, <br />Some after the fatal loss… <br />Some like Keats have wondered about the redness… <br />Some have just whipped it off <br />-For fresh blood to ooze out.<br /><br />shreya chatterjee<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/blood-26/
