In Bruges

In Bruges

A Poem by Earl Schumacker
"

Dark humor rides high

"

In Bruges


Cameras snap the last actions as tourists flash

Bullets fly by at respective velocities in streets

As dark humor goes out the window in Bruges

Some one falls from the high church tower

Assisted by gravity, a force of nature works well

A push from a stranger works even better

To bring him to his senses, obsequious to that end

A splat, a stain on the pavement below, where else

On the square, over a glass, a sampling of fresh brew

A hit man, this time, does not miss his mark

The story, like the beer, is delicious this time of year

Author's Note

Earl Schumacker
Authors Note: The film named “In Bruges” (Who would do such a thing?) is a gem of a movie. Colin Farrell, (eye brows and all), stars with Brendan Gleeson and Ralph Fiennes. A must see.
