Denise Miller

Twice in one shift Denise popped a perp, put both
down for good, pissed herself, dry mouth, cried
shaking over the dead, neither voting age, shot
again, shouted: freeze, police.

Take some days, Capt ordered, she homed to
Vermont.

Dad hugged her, how's my killer. Swell, Sarge, you.

Bagged two this season, so far, Mom and me're
going for more tonight,  you in?

Who's it?

Dinks, by White Mountain, refugee camp.

Knives or guns?

Knives and garrot, one at a time, keep it quiet, stash 
them, so they think the missing awoled.

The cammied family waited by the showers, a youth 
came, Denise asked directions, the man turned to point, 
she slipped the wire, knee to back, cinched, pissed
herself, whispered: You've a right to remain silent.
