“The Karmic Heimlich Manoeuvre by Stewart Stafford

A gargoyle’s face of stone,
Grimacing back at me,
Each wrinkle a flagellant scar,
From a Caesarean decree.

Denial’s chant, the siren’s call,
Jockeying to ride meeker backs,
Perpetrators and their victims,
Fallen bodies upon the tracks.

Deep slash from a traitor’s blade,
Gatecrasher from a coroner skit,
Staggering down the Via Dolorosa,
Guiltiest choking on a peach pit.

Then karma’s trapdoor gives,
The past never a partner barred,
Hubris’s caw now a trembling chick,
Wet noose in the hangman’s yard.
