One poem by Beth Winter

Judas kiss

as brackish beads pollute spring rain
and orbs absorb infected red
betrayal breeds a filth-strewn bed

deception leaves acidic stains
defiling sleep as virtues weep
dishonor kisses tender veins

reluctance thrives in trust struck dead
and brackish beads pollute spring rain
