you have to prove intent in murder
have to
prove intent
in life living not a thump
of heartbeat beat of drumming feet
on footpaths leading to the
capital
gunshots out a window moving
through single night of
terror one day
same
proof for puddings for cocaine
for vats
of spirits
prove
what is intended
assay
a beating heart
vanity unclaim
reframe intend
the once
for me
