tumbled and humbled

Killer—
your treachery was not quite willful
never the less
I am impressed
with your reckless, feckless
tastelessness.

In a tumbled, humbled war
accountability is obscure.

You chose the thick one, the girl stuffed
with wheat and corn,

blondfully born; you spurned
the fish girl
hiccuping fresh pearls
and veils and bolts of mermaid revolt.
