Thorough-fare
by H.M StevensDeath glares
In heavy loving breath,
I hold her gun, blink and stare back
aim the pistol into nothingness
and fire into compact wind
roaring through my thick past, and overwhelming future
What is tomorrow, or moments from now, that under no assurance, exist?
A referral of prideful wilting hopeĀ
that we move,
to one day lay to rest
