Sample Sunday: Excerpt "DETECTIVE STORY" from "Dances of the Disaffected" by Barry Ergang

Barry is back for another Sample Sunday. This time he shares the below excerpt from his book from Dances of the Disaffected (available only in a Kindle edition):

DETECTIVE STORY
by Barry Ergang


Crime of passion? Suicide? Natural death?
Is the locked room a key or vagrant trail?
Our only sure clue is the absence of breath,
The mystery a chamber vain sleuths assail
With reason slain straining to lift the veil.
Exchanging looks tipped proud like poisoned darts,
We cannot crack the cases of our hearts.

Dances of the Disaffected is one of several titles available at Amazon
