Maumau

you receive
today a bullet
and a black cloth
some drops
of blood dry
on paper

you feel
threatened
and you do
not know
what to do

this is the
first time
and there
will be
another

and soon
i tell you
you get
bored
about these
threats

and true
to her word
you begin
to eat it
everyday
like lunch
and breakfast
and dinner

so what?
keep your cool
and be
hardheaded

one dies only
once anyway
