Two different hands
female hands
Laid over a knife

Buried in a back

Murder, especially between the sexes, makes for an intriguing topic.

I like this, Barry, because it leaves the reader open to imagining what the heck he did to piss her off enough to off him.

nice to see you

Barry, your ability to use concise words to convey powerful emotions is demonstrated here. I too see it as a metaphor. Kudos my friend.

It's a stark image they lingers long after the actual event.
Thanks for the comments.:)
