Blind Sight

Caesar saw the red stain
on his white clothes
long before
he broke the heart
of Brutus

Brutus too
shaking his head
as Caesar retreated
tried to knock the stain
from behind his eyes
long before he could fathom
what it meant

And now
We hear Puccini
as Caesar is bludgeoned
in Technicolor

Take heart darling
you can’t be tried twice
for the same murder
