A dark poem about dark deeds.

Inquisition

Bloody lips scream remorse
Painful confession wrought by force
Blackened teeth grinning delight
Another customer’s harrowed fright

A snip of the shears, a turn of the screw
A crank of the wheel, limbs snap askew
Questions asked, demanded, commanded
Questions answered, remanded and candid

Papers signed in grisly scribble
Parchment stained a crimson dribble
Neck stretched over the spattered block
Headman’s axe splitting the chock
