She Only Had A Brain

 
Kathryn is that person everyone talks about
they say it's the quiet ones you have to watch
and Kathryn is a very quiet closed up person
a practicing artist of the macabre
taking us into the deep dark places
where leading the brain takes on a whole new meaning

a killer with a heart of gold
strong through her gentleness
here in mind but not in body
people wonder if she is lonely without the human form
this may explain why she is having a little trouble sleeping
and is still working on descending the stairs
for wouldn't you, if you only had a brain

Linking up with dVerse where we were given the task of creating a list poem based on Googlisms of a phrase or word.
