Molly Macbeth's Arrest 1974

Molly Macbeth's Arrest 1974

A Poem by Terry Collett

Last night they brought the bodies out. Molly Macbeth was arrested for their deaths. After an hour of interrogation she said nothing, just gazed at them in a cold silence.  They brought in a psychiatrist to sit in on the interrogation, but she became agitated and attacked him and had to be constrained by the police officers present, and he had to leave. They left her there with a female police officer who gave her a cigarette when for the first time she spoke. They watched her through the two way mirror talking to the police woman. Nothing special, just a line of conversation interrupted by her other voice, an argument between Molly and her other self. Nothing else was said. No confession, no admission, no worries about the dead.
