MURDER BY FABERGE


Murder by Faberge

To catch a chicken thief, 
you need to live in the hen house.

The clown runs through the forest, 
a knife in the back, 
as he scales the bridge. 
The clown falls into the swirling waters, 
where he floats toe up 
over the rapids and pays with his life. 

The knife throwers,
the twins Mishka and Grishka 
turn toward the arena.
The clowns eyes were wet 
as a Berlin winter.
