TEXTBOOK

it is a textbook case

need to
kill every
shadow

every
evil
    reflection

erase
as quiet as we can
with total
extreme
prejudice

kill
every word
    before
story escapes

anything
gets written

anything
gets said  

it is
a textbook case

textbook case
for all time
     remembered
as
   true, necessary
exercise

     the pages
soaked in blood

forever
      forgot

what
the law requires
what
the faith demands
