crimson

he would do
anything for her.
would rush
to meet
any wish
any demand.

to meet her demands
he took some money
that was not his.
discovered
out of job.
no more jobs for him.

she talked and she talked.
how she could have
done better
by marrying another.
how x, y, z
still wanted her.

on a cold clammy
rainy day
they found him
inert
in a pool of
crimson.
