Until Proven Innocent
“She’s dead,”
they say.
“And you killed her.”
Denial comes easily, naturally, instinctively
because it’s the truth.
Maybe you wanted to
but you didn’t,
and intention is not nearly as important
as the action—
except to the detective
who declares motive.
“She’s dead,”
they say.
“And you killed her.”
Proof is required,
an alibi is demanded.
Guilty
you feel
for the way you felt about her;
guilty
you are,
according to social media—
guilty
until proven innocent.
“She’s dead,”
they say.
“And you killed her.”
Said, accused, proclaimed enough times
even you start to believe it.
