Blues Para Emmett

The killers of Emmett
Arrived without warning
Chewing glass shards
With their poker faces
The killers of Emmett
Entered without a word
With their leather breath
And dagger eyes

The killers of Emmett
When they saw him kneeling
Unleashed upon him
The fire from their guns
While justified
The woman makes a stew
To wait for her husband
Who went to avenge her
