Baby's Breath - Otep[00:00:00]
The soft sound of snow crunching[00:00:07]
Underfoot gives me comfort [00:00:10]
Her building is at the end of the block [00:00:16]
She lives on the north side [00:00:21]
Bottom floor Middle apartment [00:00:24]
I see her: 1 2 3 4 5 steps [00:00:29]
Wrong key Lock clicks She drops her[00:00:36]
Coat and scarf in the entry and[00:00:44]
Kicks off those vixen shoes [00:00:48]
She shuffles to the kitchen and pours[00:00:52]
A glass of scotch (I am inside)[00:00:54]
She lights a cigarette and blows[00:01:04]
The smoke over the match (She doesn't notice)[00:01:06]
The gray smog rises from her[00:01:14]
Lips like a cremation furnace [00:01:16]
The simple elegance of this quiet[00:01:24]
Moment is almost irresistible [00:01:27]
(But I wait)[00:01:33]
She slugs back the scotch [00:01:37]
Finishes her smoke and ashes it[00:01:40]
In the sink She unties her hair[00:01:43]
And enters the hallway past the[00:01:49]
Childless bedroom with the empty[00:01:53]
Crib past the altar coated in wax[00:01:55]
Like a wedding cake and the tiny[00:02:01]
Packages of meat dead flowers [00:02:06]
And baby's breath [00:02:12]
She enters the bathroom where[00:02:15]
She undresses She sits on the[00:02:19]
Edge of the bath Her body[00:02:24]
Folded in half heavy tits hanging[00:02:28]
Like mushy stalactites over her[00:02:35]
Lap (Oh precious) She closes her[00:02:37]
Eyes and holds her head as if it[00:02:44]
Might float away [00:02:48]
For a moment my thoughts drift[00:02:53]
Again this time to the hammer[00:02:56]
I am holding The handle is[00:03:00]
Smooth as bone the forged steel[00:03:05]
Head is heavy and I feel powerful [00:03:09]
She reaches for the faucet[00:03:19]
And I snap back to the moment [00:03:21]
Bubbles brim the edge of the[00:03:24]
Tub Her fingers check the water[00:03:26]
Temperature and I am ready [00:03:30]
I move behind her She doesn't[00:03:37]
Hear I swing the hammer She[00:03:40]
Doesn't see I crack her skull [00:03:45]
She's in the tub Face down I am[00:03:50]
Drowning her mashing her head[00:03:58]
To the bottom knifing the claw of[00:04:01]
The hammer into her spine and[00:04:04]
Ribs over and over and over and[00:04:06]
Over and over and over and over[00:04:11]
And over and [00:04:17]
Her body stops pretending to[00:04:25]
Care and surrenders as it is supposed[00:04:27]
To just to be sure I press[00:04:33]
Hard keeping her head beneath[00:04:41]
The bloody water a few moments[00:04:45]
More Her neck snaps her nose[00:04:48]
Breaks and her face collapses[00:04:55]
Against the bottom of the tub I[00:05:00]
See my reflection in the mirror[00:05:07]
And soapy foam has formed a half[00:05:11]
Smile over the black nylon mask I[00:05:14]
Am wearing[00:05:18]
I lean to her The water glistens[00:05:24]
Like glass I hover over the[00:05:30]
Surface soft breath causing tiny[00:05:38]
Quakes and whisper "I have done[00:05:43]
To you what nature has done to me "[00:05:51]
She doesn't reply [00:06:05]
I stand and turn off the light [00:06:12]
The room is dark and empty [00:06:23]
Just like I am now[00:06:29]
