Heroes and Villains: Day 2

The Skull on the Punisher's Shirt

Imagine being dead
and angry
still. Rage and calcium.
Holes where I saw
what I saw. The rest
of me is landfill,
not even the jaw to cheat
a grin. I've heard
the jokes: extra
in a one-act Hamlet,
all certainty and revenge.
Everyone was poisoned
before the curtain went up.
