Pity the widow
who sits on the bench
she and her husband
sat on
Pity the widow
who screamed when
she saw her husband
dead
Pity the widow
too young to lose
a husband so sweet
too young
Pity the widow
who cried like a croc
when her husband
was hauled away
Pity the widow
sitting in the window
her smile is brighter now
her husband’s gone
Pity the widow
who washed her hands
when her husband
fell to the floor
Pity the widow
who paints her nails red
so the blood
don’t show anymore
Pity the widow
who washed her windows
the day the police
came by
Pity the widow
sitting in the window
who gave the knife to me
who hid it away for her
Pity the widow
with a neighbor
with a murder weapon
in their back garden
Pity the widow
sitting in the window
with a new wedding
ring
Pity the widow
Sitting in the window
who doesn’t miss
her husband
