Aesthetic Criteria

By Santana Kamal

PROMPT — I will not rest until ...

You can find murder ugly,

but what if it saves you?

An arc of abuse by a

precedented year -

you turn into a beautiful monster.

Crimes in your prime,

reeking of Nerium oleander,

where to take your formation

and against whom

on this chessboard?
