July 1st, 2015 17) Executioner
Erect, with stubborn pride and head held high
for a heartless, faithless executioner
to jerk back once or twice with violence
so on the vine the squirting cucumber
may spray its life, its soggy seed
upon the ground and hang there limp
for when it comes to love you'd rather
pay a lazy gardener who knows only how to skimp!
