Epilogue
I had black coffee.
The death of an inanimate friend
is a death, none-the-less
and the sole eternal way to kill the spirit
inside the doll
that forever haunts
requires no talisman
no hocus
no witch doctor.
Just and alone: a sharp sharp hook.
Separate the seams
connecting the head to the body
the brain to the head
and the heart from the torso.
Burn.
And with so, you were gone.
I thank you for your talent,
bestowed upon my crown
flowed upon the paper
and you are always within
my head.
But now, you may disappear.
Never return.
