Unsolved Valentine

A body burnt beyond
Recognition in broad
Daylight and no one noticed
A human skull in a box
Of toys donated to Goodwill
Poisonous mushrooms popping up
Between the bright lantana flowers
Something rapping on my window
At two in the morning no one there
What am I to do with these
Edgar Allan mysteries
But turn the page read on
The clueless bodies pile up
The killer strikes at dawn
