Slender fingers

a spider's caress.

A mess of dark hair.

Haven't slept for days.

Knees drawn close,

clad in simple dress,

obsidian eyes

working out of the maze.

Sugar cubes,

a crooked column of white.

A cup of tea

while he plays the game.

Mad assumptions

always proven right.

Yet another case

solved in Justice's name.
