THE DEVIL smiles like a split wrist ,      tosses salt over his shoulder for luck.     a mess    :     making a mess of the great sherlock holmes’ kitchen     -----------      no use to stop him ,     the crime scene can only be cleaned after a crime has been committed.     poised with practised visage   :     the illusion of patience as nerves pull tight to be played by the cruelest violinist     MORIARTY      //      a spider whose web catches fire in the corners of his mind.       ❛     oh no ,      by all means make a mess of things.      I’d hate to INTERRUPT in a time like this.     ❜
