in the shower
as i was
washing the cut hairs
from me
after shaving my head
i picked him up
by his left wing
or his rite
if youre looking at him
and tapped him on the head
just to see if he was
still alive
but he wasnt
and i looked
into those dead bug eyes
knowing hed
beat himself to death
against the window
trying to get out
so i dropped him
at the drain
and cupped my hands
directing the water
to wash him down
and as i toweled
myself off
i walked out of the bathroom
to pour myself
another scotch
and check my email
bzzzzzz
tink
