heavy coughing
from the spare bedroom
sore throat

V.V
Even through a study of anatomy
she takes a pause to process what lies here;
the cat had died in quite some agony
with blood upon the walls and stink of fear.
And though it did not leave its life in ease
the furry corpse has suffered further ill,
cut open to display internal parts and tease
the fate of all who dwell in Heathtown still.
Was this man a student of biology?
the discipline eludes her thought
for Wolverhampton has no medical degree
nor is a study of forensics taught.
