TO THE TOWNSFOLK
:43:14
"Bed 13 did not take his life.
:43:16
He was done in
by Germain-the-Lecher,
:43:19
the lover of Laura, Denise,
and next, Rolande, the postal thief.
:43:24
The Raven is following the funeral."
:43:29
Shattered lives didn't suffice.
:43:33
Broken homes didn't suffice.
:43:36
The anonymous murderer
had to have blood as well.
:43:42
These little pieces of white paper
rained on the city.
:43:45
They made some of you laugh.
:43:48
Would you have laughed knowing
they would make a mother weep?
:43:57
But our whole town shares her grief.
