[101] Peace

Peace Isn't Always Tranquil

Naoko Kensaku
Tick-tock went the sōzu
Ting ting went the windchime
The clock moved tirelessly
The house lay silent

Standing alone
He looked around
A figure cut in loneliness
Long shadows covered the room

There was no sound, only silence
No movement, only stillness
For the first time
He was at peace

Life had stopped
No one breathed but him
In this quiet moment
He knew peace in his heart

Around him, their bodies laid
Hacked, bloody, bruised
Their voices he would not miss
Well riddance to nagging hags

Soon the law would come for him
But that would be just fine now.
