THIS?

It's best not to worry
out-loud when the heart-attack

comes pumping,

its cobwebbed strings
taut and shocked like

an old priest's prayer;

when a bullet leaves
its barrel, it will find you.

There is no mystery

to that which cannot be
avoided. We clutch our chests,

we press the bloody wound-

we wanted hope and all
we got was this?
