one woman firing squad by Dani Roseyou,
of little faith
stood
valiantly
within the line
of fire.
i,
whose laughter
you described
as the sound
of a thousand
windows
shattering,
toyed carelessly
with a verbal
trigger-
and
i
did
not
hesitate. 11/03/2008 Posted on 11/04/2008 Copyright © 2025 Dani Rose

Posted by Kristina Woodhill on 02/11/13 at 11:13 PM Congrats on POTD! I enjoyed the structure of this very much. That ending is quite deadly. Well done. |
