Crossbows to come

 In preparation for my upcoming release: In the Crosshairs: the Body on Leffis Key, here's a Zelda poem*

*Zelda is an alter-alter-alter ego.

Crossbow mercy

Zelda has moved in
Little bottles everywhere
 
Books and papers and needlepoint
In the living room
On every surface
 
In the bedroom
Pillows on the floor
Clothes on the bed
 
It’s her way
Of distracting me.
Won’t work.
Wish it would.
 
She watches me
A long look
 
Picks up the crossbow
And puts me out of my misery.
 
Bless you Zelda.
