forensics witch

A car was towed
from the shoulder of a road 
and a body was found
on the bare ass ground

Then the shoulder went missing 
and the ground was gone. 

All she had was the body 
and the car to go on, and 
she sure had the body. 

And the will to go on.
Plus a mind like 
a ravening, slavering wolf 
on a scent-sense track
of aimed purpose intent
upon so much wrong
she was fury unspent. 
 
Spoiling to be spent
in hunting out blame.  

She will bring this home. 
She will give it a name. 

She's got mad detail 
She's got acumen 
with an eldritch flair
for discoveries grim    
not to make things right 

just bring this home.
And give it a name.
This is all 
she's known
